An archival photograph of No. 453 Squadron RAAF before the Japanese landings.
Reading the photograph
Australian War Memorial accession 100117 shows a line of Brewster Buffalo fighters at Sembawang. The catalogue dates the photograph to approximately November 1941, shortly before hostilities began in Malaya. That dating places it in the period of preparation for war.
The catalogue identifies No. 453 Squadron RAAF. Readers comparing the image with other photographs of the airfield can use the accession number to distinguish it from similar views of the same aircraft type.
