Vintage Classics: Commonwealth CA-13 Boomerang

The decision to build the indigenous Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Boomerang, an aircraft, came in the wake of ongoing Japanese aggression in the Pacific and the need to ensure a continuous future supply of new fighters for the RAAF.
By using many sections and components from existing aircraft types under construction in Australia, the first Boomerang was produced just sixteen weeks after the original production decision was made, and 250 of these tiny fighters would eventually be produced.
Due to its excellent low-altitude performance, the Boomerang was widely used in the latter stages of World War II to mark targets for ground attack, a role which earned the distinctive little aircraft the nickname "Smoky Joe".
