Memorial information

Description

" In June 1944 it was decided that a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) unit be allocated to the Allied Intelligence Bureau (AIB) to deliver Z Special Unit agents and supplies by parachute behind enemy lines. Controlled by the AIB, 200 Flight personnel were forbidden to speak about these highly secretive tasks of insertion and supply of intelligence-gathering parties. The unit was disbanded in December 1945."
