Eastern 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 May 1942, and controlled units located in New South Wales and southern Queensland. Headquartered in Sydney, Eastern Area Command's responsibilities included air defence, aerial reconnaissance and protection of the sea lanes within its boundaries. Its flying units operated fighters, reconnaissance bombers, and dive bombers, and concentrated on convoy escort, maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare. The size of the area was such that the RAAF twice considered splitting it, but nothing came of this.

  • O Comando da Área Oriental foi um de vários comandos geográficos criados pela Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF) durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Foi formado em Maio de 1942 e controlava as unidades localizadas em Nova Gales do Sul e no sul de Queensland. Com sede em Sydney, as responsabilidades do Comando da Área Oriental incluíam a defesa aérea, o reconhecimento aéreo e a protecção das rotas marítimas dentro dos seus limites. As suas unidades aéreas operavam caças, bombardeiros de reconhecimento e bombardeiros de mergulho, e concentravam-se na escolta de comboios marítimos, patrulha marítima e guerra anti-submarina. O tamanho da área era tal que a RAAF considerou por duas vezes dividi-la, porém esta ideia nunca se concretizou. (pt)
