Description
Extreme weather conditions in the tropics made it necessary for aircraft under repair to be protected at all times and any "scrounged" material was put to this use. During the Second World War Freedman enlisted in the RAAF and was appointed as a war artist attached to the RAAF Historical War Records Section and he worked here from 1944 to 1945, in Borneo, Noemfoor and around Australia.
