Damien Parer was one of Australia's greatest war photographers and cinematographers. His images and footage of Australians in the Second World War helped define the conflict, both for the people who were in it and for generations to come. His camera work on 'Kokoda Frontline' helped earn Australia its first Academy Award, and his work with American forces in the Pacific set new standards for combat photography. In this episode Mat is joined by Karl James from the Australian War Memorial to tell the story of the life and death of Damien Parer.

Mat visits the Australian War Memorial in Canberra for a special behind-the-scenes tour of the artefacts and large items that are rarely on public display. During this special visit he is guided by Head of Military History Dr Karl James, and speaks to historian Dr Lachlan Grant about the new Australians in Bomber Command exhibition. Topics discussed: 'G for George', the AWM's famous Lancaster bomber; the German ME262 German aircraft; a Chinook helicopter that carried Australian troops into combat in Afghanistan; a smashed engine from a Hawker Hurricane that tells the story of an Australian airman who died over Europe; a caravan that was home to a famous WW2 general; a Japanese midget submarine that raided Sydney Harbour; a German V2 rocket on its original carrier; and a special preview of the future Australians in Bomber Command exhibition, which utilises aircraft, objects and technology to tell the story of the air war in WW2.
