Default brisbane

I recall reading somewhere, the USAAC had a section based in Brisbane ( Archerfield ? ) where captured Jap aircraft were test flown . Imagine the sight of a Zero flying around the Brisbane area during WW2 .

Can anyone confirm this ?


Found the site http://www.ozatwar.com/usaaf/atiu.htm
