On this day in Air Force history: 19421226 26/12/1942 Wirraway's only combat success
While on a tactical reconnaissance mission off Gona, Papua, on this day, the two-man crew of Wirraway A20-103 from No 4 Squadron spotted a Japanese fighter approaching them about 1000 feet below. The pilot, Flying Officer John Archer, immediately engaged the enemy machine and caused it to crash in flames into the sea. Archer’s victory was unique, as the Wirraway was developed from a design intended for nothing more than advanced training. Although the RAAF had armed and employed some as ‘fighters’, the Wirraway proved totally outclassed in earlier combat with high performance Japanese types such as the Mitsubishi Zero. In this case, however, the enemy machine encountered was probably not a Zero but a Nakajima Ki-43 Oscar of the Japanese Army's recently- arrived 11th Sentai. Very likely, the Japanese pilot had himself mistaken the RAAF machine for a Zero. For his singular success, Archer was awarded the Silver Star by the Americans.
