Following the Japanese entry into World War II, the Wirraway was used as a stop-gap fighter by the RAAF. Whilst the Wirraway proved to be completely unsuited for this role, it was fairly successful as a close air support aircraft, and when the rear passenger was removed, bombs could be placed on the planes wings to make it a light bomber.

rdfs:comment	Following the Japanese entry into World War II, the Wirraway was used as a stop-gap fighter by the RAAF. Whilst the Wirraway proved to be completely unsuited for this role, it was fairly successful as a close air support aircraft, and when the rear passenger was removed, bombs could be placed on the planes wings to make it a light bomber. The Wirraway (an Aboriginal word meaning "challenge") was a training and general purpose military aircraft manufactured in Australia by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) between 1939 and 1946. The aircraft was an Australian development of the North American NA-16 training aircraft. During World War II, the Wirraway saw action, in a makeshift light bomber/ground attack capacity, against Japanese forces. It was also the starting point for the design of an "emergency fighter", the CAC Boomerang.
