CAC Wirraway

The CAC Wirraway was a 2 seater World War II 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 T-6 Texan training aircraft. During World War II, the Wirraway served as the starting point for the design of the emergency fighter CAC Boomerang.

Following the Japanese entery into World War 2 in 'Days on Infamy' these trainer aircraft were used as stop-gap fighters by the RAAF following the Japanese attack. 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, more bombs could be placed on the planes underbelly to make it a light bomber.
