Air Board
Agendum 6479 of 13 April 1945 lists what has been requested by Cinesound
Productions and what has been approved by the Air Board. Although seemingly
anachronistic, the formation of B-24 Liberators mentioned in (a) and
(b) does appear in the early scenes for the purpose of illustrating
progress in trans-Pacific flying. The mention of Vengeance and Wirraway
aircraft in (i) and (j) probably indicates the originally intended method
of depicting close-ups of a two seat aircraft. This function was eventually
served by the construction of a mockup. The document also suggests that
repainting of the Boomerang was intended to be performed by the RAAF.
