During the Campaign in New Guinea the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Air Maintenance Companies, "The Biscuit Bombers", were formed from members of the Aust Army Service Corps and conducted aerial resupply operations in support of Australian and American Soldiers engaged in fighting Japanese forces. At the end of World War II the air dispatch units were disbanded. A small reserve contingent maintained the capability until reformation in 1960. (en)
