Captain “Bunny” Hammond

Leaves New Guinea

APT AIN “Bunny” Hammond and Mrs.

Hammond, well-known in New Guinea (where Captain Hammond was one of the best known air pilots) have settled down in Melbourne, The Sydney Telegraph has this note: “Captain Hammond has dodged streams of tracer in France, has barn-stormed all over Australia, and skimmed Papuan jungles with freights of high explosive. He has a record of over 20 years’ continuous flying, and is (surely) on© of the few pilots of 1916 days who are still flying without celestial aid.”
