History and Use of the CAC Ca-12 Boomerang Aircraft

The CAC Ca-12 Boomerang is an Australian-made fighter aircraft produced by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation. Designed and built almost entirely in Australia, it was developed in response to the urgent needs of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during the early years of World War II (1942–1945). The Boomerang participated in patrols over Australian territory as well as in combat operations in New Guinea and the Southwest Pacific, providing support for ground forces and performing reconnaissance and escort missions. It is a symbol of pride for Australian aviators – the first fully-fledged fighter created by the local aviation industry.
