RNZAF Kittyhawk and a USAAF Dakota on the airfield at Norfolk Island.
Associated document describes: " The perforated steel matting comprising the surface of the WNW-ESE airstrip is well illustrated in this photograph. the P40 probably developed engine trouble on its way into Norfolk and may have remained for repairs while the rest of the flight continued its journey. The C47 is probably and aircraft of the US Air Transport Command, many of which landed at Norfolk. The aircraft on the extreme left apprars to be a Hudson of No. 40 Sqdn. RNZAF which has been converted to a troop carrier."
