The CAC Boomerang CA-12 was a single-seat fighter aircraft designed and manufactured by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) in Australia during World War II. It was the first combat aircraft to be designed and built entirely in Australia, and it was also the first to enter service with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
The Boomerang was developed as a stop-gap measure to address the shortage of fighter aircraft in the Pacific theatre after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The design was based on the CAC Wirraway, a trainer and general-purpose aircraft that was itself derived from the North American NA-16. The Boomerang had a more powerful engine, a shorter wingspan, and a heavier armament of two 20 mm cannons and four 0.303 inch machine guns.
The Boomerang first flew in May 1942 and entered service with the RAAF in August 1942. It was initially used for air defence and escort missions, but it soon became apparent that it was inferior to the Japanese fighters in terms of speed and performance at high altitude. The Boomerang was then relegated to ground attack, reconnaissance, and army co-operation roles, where it proved to be effective and reliable. The Boomerang also served as a training aircraft for pilots who later flew Spitfires and Mustangs.
A total of 250 Boomerangs were built by CAC between 1942 and 1945, of which 105 were CA-12 models. The Boomerang was retired from active service in 1946, but some remained in use as target tugs until the early 1950s. Today, several Boomerangs are preserved in museums or flying condition as warbirds.
