Source: Tumblr.com.The Boomerang was an Australian fighter aircraft produced between 1942 and 1945, in response to the Japanese invasion of the Pacific. It was the first combat aircraft designed and manufactured in Australia. Although based on the North American NA-16 and using some components of the CAC Wirraway trainer it was substantially different to both. The Boomerangs were highly manoeuvrable, and well armed although their flight ceiling was somewhat limited. They were used effectively for ground attack and also aerial reconnaissance and air sea rescue.
This aircraft, VH-MHR, is the CA-13 variant built in 1943. It is fitted with a 1,830 hp Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasp Radial engine. It is owned by the Temora Aviation Museum in New South Wales. Photo is by Naemick Photography. Reblogged from redbubble.com.
