  • Le RAAF Command est la principale formation opérationnelle de la Force aérienne royale australienne (Royal Australian Air Force, RAAF), chargée de la défense du pays et des intérêts australiens contre les offensives aériennes japonaises dans la région ouest de l'océan Pacifique sud. Il est créé en septembre 1942. En avril 1943, il comprend 27 escadrons et inclut des unités des Pays-Bas, du Royaume-Uni et des États-Unis en plus des unités australiennes. Dépendant de l'autorité opérationnelle du commandement des forces aériennes alliées dans le Pacifique Sud-Ouest, le RAAF Command exerce un contrôle de ses unités pour la zone de l'Australie et, plus tard, pour le Territoire de Nouvelle-Guinée. Il contrôle également de grandes formations mobiles tel que l'Australian First Tactical Air Force. Le RAAF Command atteint un effectif de 41 escadrons en octobre 1944. De sa création, jusqu'à sa dissolution en septembre 1945, il est dirigé par le Air Vice Marshal William Bostock. (fr)
