A very interesting read. The PNG weather played such a major role in WW2 operations, and this book further illustrates that. Even later in the war, when crews and aircraft were better able to handle some IFR - losses could still be substantial - even catastrophic..... (Ref: 'Black Sunday' by Michael Claringbould, 1995).
