Qantas In WW2 - A Disguised "RAAF Unit"

By Frank's MS Flight Sim

 

Qantas is known as the oldest airline in the English-speaking world - only Dutch KLM is older. But few know of its heroic actions during WW2 where it operated as a sort-of unarmed RAAF unit in disguise, and of the actions of its co-founder, Hudson Fysh, to help it survive the war. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

About Frank's MS Flight Sim

I am an avid recreational pilot and flight simmer. Now retired, my career was in airport engineering, and engineering education and training. I use MSFS to practice aspects of my real-life recreational flying, and to make YouTube videos to share on all aspects of aviation such as: heritage/vintage flights, airfields and aircraft; bush/outback/back-country/mountain/water airstrips; aircraft accident investigations; scenic locations; wars; etc. I make a new video every 7 to 10 days. I provide brief, interesting information, often with history, geography, maps, pictures etc, and great places to fly in MSFS. As an avid, curious life-long learner, my focus is on interesting content. Hope you enjoy watching as much as I do producing. Cheers.

Frank,

Thank you for this extremely interesting snapshot of a little known operation during WWII.

You've tweaked my curiosity to learn more, once again.
