No. 3 Squadron Roll of Honour (WWII)

At the outbreak of WWII, No. 3 Squadron was one of 12 permanent Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) squadrons. The unit absorbed new personnel and underwent intense training before being attached to the 6th Division for overseas service.  No. 3 Squadron became one of the most active squadrons in the RAAF and a Jack-of-all-trades squadron, flying a wide range of aircraft and undertaking not only conventional reconnaissance, but also ground attacks, strikes against enemy ships and frequent intense air battles.
