Women’s Air Force history

 
The Women’s Royal Australian Air Force (WRAAF) operated between 1951 and 1977. It consisted of 30 officers and 832 airwomen engaged in productive duties to ease shortages of staff in certain trades (eg, clerical and signals musterings). Many WRAAF servicewomen were trained (and some served) at the Point Cook Air Base.
