EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Commonwealth CA-13 Boomerang, a fighter aircraft that first took to the skies in May 1942, during a pivotal moment in World War II. With the Japanese forces already ashore in New Guinea, the Boomerang's operational debut came in April 1943. This Australian-designed and built fighter plane played a significant role in the Royal Australian Air Force's (RAAF) efforts to defend the South Pacific against the advancing Japanese forces. The CA-13 Boomerang was a single-engine, low-wing monoplane, characterized by its distinctive elliptical wings and retractable landing gear. Its unique design offered improved maneuverability and agility, making it an effective weapon against the Japanese Zero fighter planes. The Boomerang was armed with four machine guns and could carry up to 250 pounds of bombs. The CA-13 Boomerang's first flight took place at Archerfield Airport in Queensland, Australia, under the watchful eye of test pilot, Flight Lieutenant J.W.S. McIntosh. This historic moment marked the beginning of the Boomerang's successful military career, which continued until the end of the war. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and innovation of the Commonwealth's aviation industry during World War II. The CA-13 Boomerang's story is an essential chapter in the annals of military aviation history, and a reminder of the critical role that aircraft played in the defense of the Commonwealth during this global conflict.
