Henry:
Just saw the flyover of WW2 historic planes on a cold rainy Canberra morning. 15 August 2020 is the 75th  anniversary of Victory over Japan / Victory in the Pacific (VJ/VP).
My father few various aircraft including the B24 Liberator. When we were small he had a few of his aerial maps on the wall in his study, although he never spoke of the war. The Long Range Flying Chart is shown with a picture of dad (bottom right) and a small photo of a burial of some of their crew after they crashed in NW WA; only the pilot and dad surviving.
An interesting map is that of Continental Australia, all in Japanese. Written on the back is that the map was captured at Brunei, 13 June 1945.
Lest we forget.
