	CAC Boomerang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CAC CA-12 Boomerang was a World War II fighter aircraft manufactured in Australia between 1942 and 1945.
		The Boomerang handled well and unlike most initial models of fighter aircraft, was well-armed from the start with two 20 mm cannon and four.303 machine guns (~7.7 mm), all mounted in the short, thick wings, and it was generously equipped with armour plating to protect the pilot.
		The partnership between 4 and 5 Sqn Boomerangs and RNZAF Corsair fighter-bombers was said to be particularly effective.

	Boomerang
		Boomerangs are never used for hunting, since they are usually very lightweight and fly in a circular way.
		World records are recorded by the World Boomerang Association and include 80 catches in 5 minutes, 5 catches in 14.6 seconds, and a distance record of 238 meters after which the boomerang flew back accurately to the thrower.
		Boomerang is also the name of at least two TV channels owned by Cartoon Network, one in the US and one in the UK, which show classic animated cartoons, mainly from the Warner Brothers, MGM and Hanna-Barbera archives.
