WWII Pacific 1943-44 Private Collection of Pics - RAAF Intelligence Officer

Hi folks,

I share these thanks to a friend, the Grandson of Joe Hogan (RAAF Intelligence Officer), who has allowed me to start scanning the collection and share it for all to enjoy. There are 6 folders of materials but I was so keen to start sharing I took these pictures with my iPhone.

Note the nose art and name of the A/C in one pic "there tis" and the amazing sequence of a terrible incident where bomb blasts for one A/C destroy a following A/C as it runs into the target.

Enjoy.

Regards
Andrew

Edit to add notes (hard to read so may misinterpret) on rear of picture: N. Cocret Ceram - Lugger - 27/8/44
