Description
Cool concentration shows in every line of the face of 406559 Flight Lieutenant (Flt Lt) Edward Manton Christensen, while he was leading a flight of Beaufort Bomber aircraft of No. 100 Squadron RAAF in for a bombing run over the Wewak area. Flt Lt Christensen, originally a grocery store manager of Northam, WA, was lost on operations three days later on 23 January when another aircraft A9-626 collided with A9-627 (Christensen's aircraft).
