Description

A pile of goulish-eyed monsters that had once seen action as Flying Fortresses, Liberators and 'Biscuit Bombers' lay rusting in a crumpled heap beside a little suburban house. The junk is part of an American aircraft salvage dump; inside the shack there was a birthday party in progress, children were playing on the steps and others were arriving to share in the fun and games, Brisbane, Queensland.
