1/48
V race 1936 byla zalozena z popudu australske vlady letecka a motorafska firma Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation
Pty, Ltd- Jasne vyvstavalo nebezpeci dalslho svetoveho konfliktu a hrozilo, ze pfi odfiznuti od zasobovacfch tras by
nebyl mozny dovoz letadel. Samostatnost tak mela zajistit vyroba vlastnioh nebo licencnich letadel. Sefkonstrukterem
se stal L. Wackett. Prvnim typem byl na zaklade licence americkeho NA-33 (pfedchiidce AT-Texanu) vyvinuty cvicny a
bitevni A-20. Licence byla zakoupena v cervnu 1937. Zakoupeni licence vyvolalo boufi nevole v britskem partamentu,
podle ktereho mela Australie dat pfednost nektere britske konstrukci- Australia neustoupila a tak 27.bfezna 1938 byl na
tovarnim letisti Fisherman's Bend zaletan prototypA20-3. Konstrukce NA-33 byla upravena a zesilena, aby A-20 mohl
slouzit nejen ve cvicne, ale i bitevni roll. Take vybaveni by!o australske. Stroj dostal bojove jmeno Wirraway. Na zaklade
prototypu byla vyrabena iivodni serie CA-1. Cast letounii je vyrabenajako cvicna, cast ozbrojena. Vzhledem k vypuknuti
valky v Evrope jsou objednany dalsi serie CA-3 a CA-5. Strojejsou postupne vylepsovany. Nakonec jedna vyrobni hala
produkuje cvicne a druha hala bojove Wirrawaye. Postupne jsou vyrabeny dalsi serie oznacene CA-7,8, 9, a 16. RAAF
sve Wirrawaye pouzivalo k vycviku, ale pfidelilo je take k celkem deviti bojovym squadronam. Prvni Wirrawaye od 24.
Sq. se dostaly do boju s Japonci pfi obrane Rabaulu jiz v lednu 1942. Dalsi jednotky zasahly do boju v Malajsku. Po
ustupu spojencu z Malajska a Vychodni Indie Wirrawaye branily Darwin a byly nasazeny na Move Guineji. Zde se take
Wirrawaye nejvice proslavily jako bitevni letouny blizke podpory a pruzkumne stroje. Jejich ucinnost byla takova, ze
jejich podporu pozadovaly nejen australske, ale i americke jednotky. Od roku 1943 jsou Wirrawaye stale casteji
pfesunovany k vycviku a do boju jsou nasazovany stihaci Boomerangy. Ale v ramci vycviku se Wirrawaye podileji na
vycist'ovacich operacich na ostrovech severne od Australie. Konec valky zastavil jejich vyrobu. RAAF je ale provozovaia
jeste dlouho po valce, stejne jako Royal Australian Navy. Po valce byla take cast Wirrawayu prodana civilnim uzivatelum
a pouzivana k nejruznejsim ukolum, od letajici ambulance az po praskovani a haseni pozaru.
EN-History
By the impulse from Australian government the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Pty, Ltd. aircraft and engine
company was founded in 1936. The danger of new World conflict was obvious and the threat of supply routes being cut
off would signify that no aircraft could have been imported anymore. The production of domestic designs or license built
aircraft could have ensured the independence. The Chief designer became L. Wackett. The first type to be produced was
training and ground support A-20 Wirraway developed using license built US NA-33 (Texan predecessor). The license
was purchased in June 1937. This led to big displeasure in British Parliament according to which Australia should have
preferred some British design. Australian government insisted and on March 27,1938 the prototype A20-3 took off from
the company's airfield Fisherman's Bend. The design of NA-33 was modified and strengthened so that A20 could serve in
both trainer and ground support roles. The equipment was of Australian provenience, too. The aircraft was named
Wirraway. The initial series CA-1 was produced based on the prototype. Part of the aircraft was produced as trainer the
other was equipped with armament. Due to the beginning of the war in Europe further production versions CA-3 and CA5 were ordered. The aircraft were gradually modified. Eventually, one production plant served for training aircraft and the
other for combat Wirraways. Subsequent versions CA-7, 8, 9 and 16 were produced. RAAF used Wirraways mainly for
training but also assigned them to nine combat squadrons. The first Wirraways to enter the war were 24. Squadron
machines in January 1942 during the defense of Rabaul against Japanese invasion. Other units participated in Malaya
and East India fights. Wirraways defended Darwin and were deployed to New Guinea where they gained its greatest
fame as ground support and reconnaissance machines. Their effectiveness is best described by the fact that their
support was requested not only by Australian but also by US units. From 1943 the Wirraways started to be relocated to
training units since new Boomerangs fighters started to be assigned to combat units. Even as a part of the training
Wirraways participated in clearing the grounds on island north from Australia. Even that with the end of the hostilities the
production stopped RAAF and Royal Australian Navy used them long time afterwards. Also, several machines were sold
to civil users that used them for various purposes from flying ambulance to aerial spraying and fire bomber.
