Summary
Delivery

At the start of the Second World War there was no permanent RAAF presence in South Australia, but within just two years there were several facilities housing thousands of personnel and hundreds of aircraft. The bulk of this hurried expansion involved Empire Air Training Scheme facilities and saw some 23,000 South Australians serve locally with the RAAF. New air bases were constructed at Port Pirie, Mallala and Mount Gambier while an elementary flying training school was run from Adelaide existing airport at Parafield. Other large ground training facilities were established at Victor Harbour and in central Adelaide. After Japan entry into the war the Avro Anson training aircraft were formed into reserve squadrons to protect South Australia coasts. A 1942 scheme saw a ring of airfields planned for the defence of Adelaide itself.
