Yugoslavia. c. January 1945. No. 267 Squadron RAF, a transport command squadron flying Douglas C47 Dakota aircraft on supply missions to Yugoslavia, gives valuable aid to Tito's Partisans. Besides war supplies, food and clothes, the squadron takes in Yugoslav soldiers trained in Italy to carry on the fight against the retreating Germans, and former evacuees. Seen here is the RAAF crew of the Dakota on the air strip in Yugoslavia. The strip was carved from deep snow by hand, so that supplies could be flown in. The pilot, 402556 Squadron Leader J. Wheaton of NSW, drives a jeep away from the Dakota.
