  • The Australian First Tactical Air Force (No. 1 TAF) was formed on 25 October 1944 by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Its purpose was to provide a mobile force of fighter and ground attack aircraft that could support Allied army and naval units fighting the Empire of Japan in the South West Pacific Area.

Following action in the assaults on Aitape and Noemfoor, the group was renamed the First Tactical Air Force to better reflect its size and role. It was beset with morale and leadership issues in early 1945, but recovered to take part in the battles of Tarakan, North Borneo, and Balikpapan. Reaching its peak strength of over 25,000 personnel in July 1945, No. 1 TAF's squadrons operated such aircraft as the P-40 Kittyhawk, Supermarine Spitfire, Bristol Beaufighter, and B-24 Liberator. The formation remained active following the end of hostilities in the Pacific until it was disbanded on 24 July 1946. (en)

  • A Primeira Força Aérea Táctica Australiana (No. 1 TAF) foi formada em 25 de Outubro de 1944 pela Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). A sua finalidade era fornecer uma força móvel de aviões de caça e de aeronaves de ataque ao solo que poderiam prestar apoio ao exército aliado e às unidades navais que lutavam contra o Império do Japão. Uma de várias forças aéreas tácticas aliadas formadas durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, foi formada a partir do Grupo Operacional N.º 10 da RAAF, estabelecido um ano antes. Após da acção nos assaltos em Aitape e Noemfoor, o grupo foi rebaptizado como a primeira força aérea táctica para reflectir melhor seu tamanho e papel. Foi atacado na moral e na liderança devido a diversas influencias no início de 1945, mas recuperou para tomar parte nas batalhas de Tarakan, Norte do Bornéu e Balikpapan. Alcançando a sua força máxima com mais de 25 000 funcionários em Julho de 1945, os esquadrões da No. 1 TAF operaram aeronaves como o P-40 Kittyhawk, Supermarine Spitfire, Bristol Beaufighter e B-24 Liberator. A formação permaneceu activa após o final das hostilidades no Pacífico, até que foi dissolvida em 24 de Julho de 1946. (pt)
