Description

Four humorous cartoons depicted of RAAF personnel. In the first a large woman in uniform is yelling at a senior officer who is of small stature. In the second, a seaplane is coming into land and one of the crew has dropped an anchor and rope from the nose opening. The third cartoon shows an angry paratrooper with a large lump on his head returning his parachute to the Quarter Master. Lastly, a man and a woman on skies watch a third man down hill skiing while wearing a parachute.
