- North-Eastern Area Command was one of several geographically based commands raised by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. For most of its existence it controlled units based in central and northern Queensland as well as Papua New Guinea. It was formed in January 1942 from the eastern part of the former Northern Area Command, which had covered all of northern Australia and Papua. Headquartered at Townsville, Queensland, North-Eastern Area Command's responsibilities included air defence, aerial reconnaissance and protection of the sea lanes within its territory. Its flying units, equipped with fighters, reconnaissance bombers, dive bombers and transports, took part in the battles of Rabaul, Port Moresby and Milne Bay in 1942, and the landings at Hollandia and Aitape in 1944. The area command continued to operate after the war, but its assets and staffing were much reduced. Its responsibilities were subsumed in February 1954 by the RAAF's new functional commands: Home (operational), Training, and Maintenance Commands. The area headquarters was disbanded in December 1956 and re-formed as Headquarters RAAF Townsville. (en)
- Le North-Eastern Area Command est l'un des nombreux commandements à base géographique mis en place par la Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Pendant la majeure partie de son existence, il contrôle des unités basées dans le centre et le nord du Queensland ainsi qu'en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Il est formé en janvier 1942 à partir de la partie orientale de l'ancien Northern Area Command, qui couvrait tout le nord de l'Australie et la Papouasie. Basé à Townsville, dans le Queensland, le North-Eastern Area Command est chargé de la défense aérienne, de la reconnaissance aérienne et de la protection des voies maritimes sur son territoire. Ses unités aériennes, équipées de chasseurs, de bombardiers de reconnaissance, de bombardiers en piqué et de transports, participent aux batailles de Rabaul, Port Moresby et la baie de Milne en 1942, et aux débarquements de Hollandia et Aitape en 1944. Le commandement de zone continue à fonctionner après la guerre, mais ses actifs et son personnel sont considérablement réduits. Ses responsabilités sont subsumées en février 1954 par les nouveaux commandements fonctionnels de la RAAF : Home (opérationnel), Training et Maintenance Commands. Le quartier général de zone est dissous en décembre 1956 et reformé en tant que quartier général de RAAF Townsville. (fr)
- O Comando da Área Nordeste foi um de vários comandos geográficos criados pela Real Força Aérea Australiana durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Durante a maior parte da sua existência, cobriu a parte central e norte de Queensland e a Papua Nova Guiné. Foi formada em Janeiro de 1942 a partir da parte oriental do antigo Comando da Área do Norte, que cobria a totalidade do norte da Austrália e a Papua Nova Guiné. Com quartel-general em Townsville, em Queensland, este comando era responsável pela defesa aérea, reconhecimento aéreo e protecção as orlas costeiras dentro da sua área. As aeronaves sob o seu controlo participaram nas batalhas de Rabaul, Port Moresby e Baía Milne em 1942, e no desembarque em Hollandia e Aitape em 1944. O comando continuou a operar depois do cessar das hostilidades, mesmo com os seus efectivos e equipamentos muito diminuídos. As suas responsabilidades passaram, em Fevereiro de 1954, para os novos comandos funcionais da RAAF: o Home Command (operacional), o Comando de Treino e o Comando de Manutenção. O quartel-general do comando foi dissolvido em Dezembro de 1956 e reformado como o quartel-general da Base aérea de Townsville. (pt)
