I've been doing some googling trying to find this webpage with a series of humorous comics caricaturing quintessential WWII military technology for each of the nations involved. For example, there was a Russian bomber that had about 28 engines or some nonsense and dropped several million tons of bombs!

However, it 'required a runway 3 miles long, and burned half its fuel just getting airborne. One of the Japanese planes was a bicycle propelled glider that dropped baskets of rabid dogs!

Anyway in poking around for this old page, I stumbled onto this wiki about "Gunner Dog"

quote:

Gunner (born c. August 1941) was a stray male kelpie who became notable for his reliability to accurately alert allied air force personnel that Japanese aircraft were approaching Darwin during World War II.[1]
