About Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force
The Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force was formed in March 1941, after considerable lobbying by women keen to serve and by the Chief of the Air Staff, who wanted to release male personnel serving in Australia for service overseas. The WAAAF was the first and largest of the wartime Australian women's services.
