RAAF C-47 Pilot - Korean War Albums.

An old friend of mine, Leon Murtagh, now deceased, served three tours of duty flying RAAF C-47 Dakota aircraft during the Korean War. During 349 return flights from Iwakuni, Japan to Korea and logging 2,500 hours of operational flying, Leon was rarely without his camera. He captured a unique photographic record of the bases and places he went, the aircraft he flew and saw along the way, and the people he served with.

I had access to Leon's photo albums and produced the slideshow that is now available on Picasa Webalbums at https://picasaweb.google.com/balegan...Photos19481953

There are 261 images and none were enhanced / corrected. (My telescope is of the manually push around variety for a reason).

Cheers.
