- Western Area Command was one of several geographically based commands raised by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. It was formed in January 1941, and controlled RAAF units located in Western Australia. Headquartered in Perth, Western Area Command was responsible for air defence, aerial reconnaissance and protection of the sea lanes within its boundaries. Its aircraft conducted anti-submarine operations throughout the war, and attacked targets in the Dutch East Indies during the Borneo campaign in 1945. 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. Western Area headquarters was disbanded in November 1956. (en)
- O Comando da Comando da Área Ocidental foi um de vários comandos geográficos criados pela Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF) durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Foi formado em Janeiro de 1941 e controlava as unidades da RAAF localizadas na Austrália Ocidental. Com quartel-general em Perth, era responsável pela defesa aérea, reconhecimento aéreo e pela protecção das rotas marítimas adjacentes. As suas aeronaves realizaram operações anti-submarino durante a guerra e atacaram alvos nas Índias Orientais Holandesas durante a campanha de Bornéu em 1945. O Comando da Área continuou a operar após a guerra, contudo os seus activos materiais e humanos foram muito reduzidos. Em Fevereiro de 1954 as suas responsabilidades foram incorporadas pelos novos comandos funcionais da RAAF: o Home Command, o Comando de Treino e o Comando de Manutenção. O quartel-general do Comando da Área Ocidental foi dissolvido em Novembro de 1956. (pt)
