With his excellent sense of humor and gift for narrative, Lardner penned vignettes of MacArthur's arrival and his reception in Melbourne and a flight with the daring Dutch flier Capt. Hans Smits. More frequently, Lardner wrote about the ordinary day and the average person. Traveling throughout the country, in Southwest Passage Lardner offers a glimpse of Australia in the 1940s and generates warWorld War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, AmericanWorld War, 1939-1945Pacific AreaWorld War, 1939-1945AustraliaWorld War, 1939-1945New GuineaWorld War, 1939-1945Press coverageUnited StatesWar correspondentsUnited StatesBiographyWorld War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945Press coverageWar correspondents940.54940.5426Lardner John1912-1960,1682228Belth AlexMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824143703321Southwest passage4052204UNINA
