	Royal Australian Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is the air force branch of the Australian Defence Force.
		The RAAF's main operational formation, the First Tactical Air Force, comprised more than 18,000 personnel and 20 squadrons; it had taken part in the Philippines and Borneo campaigns and was scheduled to participate in the invasion of the Japanese mainland, Operation Downfall.
		The RAAF Roundel is based on that of the British Royal Air Force, with the central circle replaced by a Kangaroo, a symbol of Australia.

	Royal Australian Air Force Squadrons - History & Codes [Australian War Memorial]
		RAAF aircraft flying in Malaya, Europe and the Middle East were marked with RAF codes that consisted of a group of three letters, two to identify the squadron and one to identify an individual aircraft.
		For example, the Memorial's Lancaster bomber is marked with AR-G. was the two letter code for 460 Squadron RAAF and G signified the sixth aircraft in that squadron.
		Following the phonetic alphabet of the time, the aircraft was known to the squadron as 'G for George'.

	Royal Australian Air Force in WW2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Royal Australian Air Force was expanding when war broke out, having 12 squadrons formed or in the process of forming.
		The massive expansion of the forces required extensive administrative, training, supply and maintenance services, and there was also a strong commitment to 'home defence', so many men and most women who volunteered for the RAAF never got the chance to serve overseas.
		To assist in meeting the demand for manpower within Australia, the RAAF formed the Women's Australian Auxiliary Air Force in 1941, recruiting women to serve in administrative roles and to perform routine maintenance on aircraft, serving alongside men, in non-operational units (mostly training establishments) in Australia.

	B-25 Mitchell with Royal Australian Air Force

		It was not until the spring of 1944 that the Australians were to get Mitchells that were flown in RAAF insignia and which carried RAAF serials.
		The first batch of 20 B-25Ds were transferred from the Dutch contracts to the RAAF in late April of 1944.

		In March of 1963, McDonnell had tried to interest the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in a version of the F-4C (Model 98DX) powered by a pair of French-built SNECMA Atar 9 turbojets.
		The RAAF F-4Es were assigned the out-of-sequence serial prefix A69 (previously assigned for the first ten planes of a cancelled order for Curtiss A-25 Shrikes during the Second World War), chosen so that it matched the FY of the USAF serial numbers.
		Of the 23 surviving RAAF F-4Es returned to the USAF, 21 were later converted to F-4G Wild Weasel SAM suppression aircraft, mostly for the 35th TFW.
