75th Anniversary (6: 1944)

 

Day 6: 1944 
This year saw a number of local airmen in the news -Don Dripps lost over Berlin, Ronald Scott of Murtoa killed in America, Bert Smith of Horsham a Squadron Leader of Sunderlands, Ted Turk shot down above New Guinea, Len Netherway from Quantong ditched in the sea...
 
On the Home Front, the situation was dire with a shortage of chocolate. The advert below imploring everyone to reserve Freddo frogs for children.
