历史
1941年末太平洋战争爆发时,澳大利亚面临来自日本军队的严重空中威胁。由于英国和美国需要所有的作战飞机,澳大利亚紧急决定制造属于自己的国产战斗机。
Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation 使用现有教练机的零部件设计了 Boomerang,以节省宝贵的时间。工程师们在短短几个月内就完成了第一架工作原型机。这架成品战斗机外观短粗且机动性强,装备有重型机枪和机炮。
虽然盟军较新的飞机在战争后期接管了高空缠斗任务,但 Boomerang 在低空表现出色。飞行员驾驶它在树梢上方低空飞行,以发现隐藏的敌方碉堡,并为在 New Guinea 和 Bougainville 的地面部队引导炮火。
