No. 79 Squadron RAAF, Kiriwina,

Trobriand Islands, December

Spitfire flown by F/Lt Llewellyn Wettenhall within No. 79 Squadron

RAAF in the fall of 1943 carried the name "Nipponese" and girl's

nose art on the port side. On December 31, 1943 the pilot's fate was

sealed in this aircraft when it was lost crossing the south coast of

New Britain during the scouting mission of six Spitfires near this

island. After crossing the coast the formation entered the dense

clouds and the unit lost contact with its leader. F/Lt Wettenhall has

never been seen again.
