[AccessD] Morning smile

Wikipedia:

The RAAF's role in the strategic air offensive in Europe formed Australia's main contribution 
to the defeat of Germany.[57] Approximately 13,000 Australian airmen served in dozens of 
British and five Australian squadrons in RAF Bomber Command between 1940 and the end 
of the war.[57] There was not a distinctive Australian contribution to this campaign, however, 
as most Australians served in British squadrons and the Australian bomber squadrons were 
part of RAF units
