We only had one squadron in the RNZAF , No.25 ,but having a Sqn Ldr T.J MclLean de Lange flying the most well known ' HOWA-BAHT -THAT ... HIC' .. To most this aircraft won the Battle of Midway , there is bits and pieces of this type in the Wigram Air Force Museum , pulled from a site in the Solomon,s which crashed during a routine training mission .



3.00am the packing case arrived ... The Dauntless , Corsair , Kittyhawk , Avenger , Ventura must be the next one up
