Royal New Zealand Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2642 words) |
 | The RNZAF was formed from New Zealand components of the British Royal Air Force, becoming an independent force in 1923. |
| The early lend-lease aircraft were obsolete and incapable of holding their own against the highly skilled and well-equipped Japanese air forces, but nothing else was available and the RNZAF flew with the tools they had to hand, notably at Guadalcanal where No 15 and No 14 squadrons equipped with Kittyhawks, fought with distinction in mid-1943. |
| The RNZAF took on a major part of the maritime reconnaissance task too, with Catalina (and later Sunderland) flying boats and Lockheed Hudson bombers. |
