High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! No. 78 Squadron was a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fighter squadron of World War II. The Squadron was formed in July 1943, and was assigned to the RAAF's mobile striking force. From November 1943 until September 1944 it supported the advance of the Allied ground forces through western New Britain and the north coast of New Guinea by attacking Japanese positions, providing fighter protection for recently-established beachheads and escorting Australian and United States bombers. From late 1944 until mid-1945 the squadron operated against Japanese positions and shipping in the eastern Netherlands East Indies, and it took part in the Borneo Campaign during the final weeks of the war. The squadron was reduced to a cadre after it returned to Australia in December 1945, but received new aircraft in 1946 and undertook training exercises until being disbanded in April 1948.
