Anzac airmen knew about Mohammed's uncle, who had the voice of 100 trumpets, and Paul Bunyan, who could kill a pond-ful of bullfrogs with a single shout.

The legend was that once when Jimmy told a lagging ground crew to "pick up those feet," the pilot of a bomber approaching the airdrome hastily retracted his landing gear.

...examples of Hart's splendid direction. Mary McCarthy swaggers delightfully through the role of Maisic; if nothing else, her anatomical proportions fit her uniquely for the job of a Police Gazette reporter.

Maps of this period, however, do show still another creek, coming from the direction of Somervill and passing across the present site of the biology building and Peabody Museum...
