Does anyone out there have any color RAAF pics in the pacific war? I know there are color pics of USAAF in the pacific, but i've only seen a few pics in the book RAAF Camouflage and markings! Cheers!

Now that I think about it, I havent seen many colour shots of the RAAF either
Fr President Clemenceau’s speech to the AIF 7th July 1918: “ we expected a great deal of (Australians)… We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent. I shall go back and say to my countrymen “I have seen the Australians, I have looked in their faces …I know that they will fight alongside of us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and for our children”.
Quite rare indeed..
Fantastic pics guys. The Beaufighter pics were a suprise. Never knew they existed! Thankyou!! I dont think color film was as available in Australia as it was in the USA!
Love that Helldiver shot!!!
Does anyone know where the Spitfire pics were taken? P-40 color pics would be nice!!
Taken at Morotai Lindsay. Have a squizz at this youtube clip for some colour footage of RAAF aircraft at Milne Bay Battle for Australia - Milne Bay - YouTube
Thanx for that Wildcat. Seeing Kittyhawks and Beauforts in color is fantastic! I just wish there was more footage!
Here's a well-known pic of aircraft that were flown by Aussies:
Incidentally, where did you get the avatar?
poor Bufaloes.
"If you can read this, thank a teacher. If it's English, thank a soldier!"
And the Hurricane at the top right corner I think.
The only Hurri is top left, all the others are Buffalos.
Thanx Buffnut, i found the avatar pic off the net, but i forget the website! I hope its ok for me to use it! I think it depics Buffalo from 453 RAAF Squadron. Flown by Sergeant H.H.Griffiths. The Osprey Aces book for the Brewster Buffalo says that he was credited with two Ki-27s destroyed.
