This Superfortress, flight leader in 29 combat missions over Tokio, and other important Japanese cities, arrived in Sydney yesterday on its way to Melbourne. Lent by General MacArthur to aid Australia's Fourth Victory Loan, this plane, which has been re-named Waltzing Matilda, will visit all Australian airfields that can accommodate it to give bond buyers special flights. It will return to Sydney later in the month. October 2, 1945.
