The CA-19 is a specific model of the CAC Boomerang, an Australian single-seat fighter aircraft developed and built by Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) during World War II. The CA-19 was part of the final production run of the Boomerang series, with 49 units completed. The very last Boomerang manufactured, A46-249, was a CA-19 model, completed in February 1945.
Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation, often referred to as Commonwealth Aircraft, was an Australian manufacturer that began operations in 1936 to supply aircraft to the Royal Australian Air Force. While the search result mentions a different “Commonwealth Aircraft” founded in 1942 that went bankrupt in 1947, the manufacturer associated with the CA-19 Boomerang is the Australian CAC. The establishment of CAC was foundational for Australia’s self-sufficiency in aircraft production during the war, playing an indispensable role in developing local designs like the Boomerang.
