Comments: Squadron Patch – No.21 Squadron, RAAF.
No. 21 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) general reserve squadron. Originally formed in the mid-1930s as a squadron of the part-time Citizen Air Force (CAF), it was mobilised for service during World War II, when it saw action against the Japanese as a fighter, dive bomber and heavy bomber unit, serving in Malaya, New Guinea and Borneo. After the war, the squadron continued to undertake flying operations until 1960 when CAF flying operations ceased. At that time, No. 21 Squadron converted to a non-flying support role, which it currently fulfils at RAAF Williams.
