Hardman, OB, OBE, DFC, the esteemed Chief of Air Staff of the Royal Australian Air Force, pays a brief visit to General Weyland, the Commanding General of Far East Air Force, at his headquarters in Tokyo.

Air Marshal Hardman's impressive decorations, including the Order of the Bath, Order of the British Empire, and Distinguished Flying Cross, are proudly displayed on his uniform, a testament to his remarkable military career.
