Yeni Zelanda Kraliyet Hava Kuvvetlerinin katıldığı her savaş
Much of New Zealand’s air war of 1939–1945 was fought inside the RAF, and NZHistory’s figure of 3,635 RNZAF dead covers every theatre together. Air-combat claims, such as the 99 Japanese aircraft credited to its Kittyhawks, are the RNZAF’s and the Air Force Museum’s; Japanese records were not checked. Since 1945 its part has been mostly strike, airlift and supply, and the Bougainville entry records only the RNZAF’s presence in the truce monitoring effort, not any party’s claims about the conflict. Where a consolidated sortie or loss figure exists in the official record it is given here; where accounts disagree, the range is shown and the disagreement named. Blank cells are blank because no figure could be verified, not because the fighting was small.

Supplied aircrew to the RAF, including No. 75 (NZ) Squadron and six other New Zealand-identified squadrons in Bomber, Fighter and Coastal Commands. New Zealand’s largest air war was fought inside another country’s air force. When war broke out, about 420 New Zealanders were already serving in the RAF, and the 30 Wellington bombers New Zealand had ordered were offered to Britain with their crews; they became No. 75 (New Zealand) Squadron RAF, which went on to fly Stirlings, Lancasters and Lincolns in Bomber Command. Through the Empire Air Training Scheme a further 7,002 New Zealand airmen joined RAF squadrons, NZHistory says; more than 2,700 pilots were trained in New Zealand and about 7,000 New Zealanders trained in Canada. By 1944 more than 6,000 were in the United Kingdom. Seven RAF squadrons carried a New Zealand identity: Nos 75 and 487 in Bomber Command, 485, 486 and 488 in Fighter Command, and 489 and 490 in Coastal Command. Three RNZAF airmen won the Victoria Cross — James Allen Ward, Leonard Trent and Lloyd Trigg. In October 1946 the RAF formally handed the 75 Squadron title and badge to the RNZAF. Sonuç Germany surrendered in May 1945. In October 1946 the RAF handed the 75 Squadron title and badge to the RNZAF in recognition of its wartime record. Bomber Command casualty figures for New Zealanders were not confirmed in the sources reached.

Fighter, bomber-reconnaissance, torpedo, flying-boat and transport squadrons under US command in the South Pacific, from Guadalcanal to the campaign against Rabaul. Pearl Harbor turned a training and coastal-patrol air force into a fighting one. In 1941 the RNZAF had 641 aircraft, most of them obsolete; the first modern ones were 36 Hudsons. Kittyhawks arrived under Lend-Lease in 1942, and No. 3 Squadron’s Hudsons were in action over Guadalcanal the same year. In 1943 Nos 15 and 14 Squadrons took Kittyhawks to Guadalcanal and a New Zealand Fighter Wing was formed; the Air Force Museum credits the RNZAF’s Kittyhawks with 99 Japanese aircraft destroyed in air combat and 14 probables. From 1944 Corsairs replaced them, operations centred on Bougainville and Rabaul, and the force reached its peak of around 42,000 personnel and 1,336 aircraft. At its height in the Pacific the RNZAF had 34 squadrons, 25 of them outside New Zealand: 13 of Corsairs, six of Venturas, two each of Catalinas, Avengers and Dakotas. Catalina crews of No. 6 Squadron are credited with rescuing 79 servicemen in 25 air-sea rescue missions. Sonuç Japan surrendered in August 1945; more than 7,000 RNZAF personnel were in the Solomon Islands on VJ Day. Air-combat claims are the RNZAF’s and the museum’s; Wikipedia notes later research raising the Kittyhawk total to 100. Japanese records were not checked.

Supply drops by Dakotas from 1949; ground-attack strikes by No. 14 Squadron’s Vampires and Venoms from 1955; Canberra bombing by No. 75 Squadron from 1958. The RNZAF went back to war in South-East Asia within four years of the Japanese surrender. From 1949 No. 41 Squadron’s Dakotas were attached to the RAF’s Far East Air Force, dropping supplies to troops and police in the jungle: by late 1951 they had flown 211 sorties and dropped 284,000 kg, according to Wikipedia. In 1955 No. 14 Squadron moved from Cyprus to Singapore. On 1 May 1955 five of its Vampires, led by Flight Lieutenant Stuart McIntyre, took off from Tengah against guerrillas in the Malayan jungle — the RNZAF’s first combat strike since the Second World War and its first in jets, NZHistory says. The squadron re-equipped with Venoms and flew 115 strike missions in three years before No. 75 Squadron relieved it in May 1958 with Canberras, nine of which operated from Tengah until 1962. NZHistory describes the Emergency as the response to the Malayan Communist Party’s attempt to overthrow British colonial rule. Sonuç The emergency was declared over in 1960. The aircraft type of the first strike is given as Vampires by NZHistory; the No. 14 Squadron article dates re-equipment with Venoms to the move to Singapore in 1955, so the type used on individual missions in 1955 may vary.

No. 14 Squadron’s Canberras deployed to Singapore as a deterrent bomber force; No. 41 Squadron’s Bristol Freighters dropped supplies to British and New Zealand troops in Borneo. Wikipedia describes Confrontation as Indonesia’s attempt to wrest control of the North Borneo territories from Malaysia. New Zealand joined Britain and Australia in defending Malaysia from 1964. NZHistory says No. 14 Squadron deployed to Singapore with six Canberra bombers; the squadron history dates its move to RAF Tengah to September 1964, with detachments to Labuan, Gong Kedak and Kai Tak, and its return to Ohakea to November 1966. The bombers were held as a deterrent and are not recorded in the sources checked as striking Indonesian targets. The busier RNZAF unit was No. 41 Squadron in Singapore, whose Bristol Freighters flew regular resupply flights into Borneo, dropping food and equipment to British and New Zealand troops on jungle operations. Sonuç Indonesia and Malaysia signed a peace agreement on 11 August 1966; New Zealand’s involvement ended in October 1966. Whether the Canberras flew any combat missions was not confirmed in the sources checked; the text above says only what they record.

|
Transport flights for New Zealand forces by No. 40 Squadron Hercules and No. 41 Squadron Freighters; RNZAF pilots flew Iroquois with No. 9 Squadron RAAF and forward air control with the USAF. New Zealand’s air contribution to Vietnam was small and mostly logistic. Hercules of No. 40 Squadron flew into South Vietnam from July 1965, within months of entering service, and Bristol Freighters of No. 41 Squadron flew supply missions throughout the war. From 1967 RNZAF pilots flew combat helicopter missions with No. 9 Squadron RAAF — the Air Force Museum says 16 pilots from No. 3 Squadron flew Iroquois in assault, troop transport, resupply and casualty evacuation between 1967 and 1971 — while others served as forward air controllers with the United States Air Force. NZHistory puts the number of RNZAF pilots who served in Vietnam in 1967–1971 at 30. More than 3,000 New Zealand military and civilian personnel served in Vietnam between 1963 and 1975. The RNZAF’s last flight out, on 21 April 1975, carried 38 embassy staff and refugees. Sonuç The last No. 41 Squadron flight left on 21 April 1975 with embassy staff, including the New Zealand ambassador, and refugees, shortly before the fall of Saigon. RNZAF pilot numbers differ: 16 helicopter pilots with No. 9 Squadron RAAF (museum, Wikipedia) and 30 RNZAF pilots in all, including forward air controllers (NZHistory).

Two Hercules joined the coalition’s airlift. NZHistory records that two RNZAF Hercules joined the Allied coalition in the Persian Gulf in 1991. Transport rather than combat aircraft would remain its contribution to coalition operations in the decades that followed. The RNZAF returned to the Gulf for peace support in 1998. Sonuç Iraq was expelled from Kuwait in February 1991. Exact deployment dates and sortie numbers were not confirmed in the sources checked. |

|
Air support to the regional truce monitoring effort that followed the Bougainville conflict. NZHistory lists Bougainville in 1997–1998 among the RNZAF’s peacekeeping deployments. The conflict on Bougainville between 1988 and 1998, fought between Papua New Guinea’s security forces and the Bougainville Revolutionary Army, is one on which the parties’ accounts of conduct and casualties differ; this entry records only the RNZAF’s presence in the regional monitoring effort and does not repeat any party’s casualty or conduct claims. Sonuç The truce monitoring phase ended in 1998. Sparse: the aircraft types, numbers and tasks of the RNZAF detachment were not confirmed in the sources reached. Casualty claims about the wider conflict are deliberately not repeated.

Iroquois helicopters of No. 3 Squadron and Hercules transport for the Australian-led INTERFET force and the UN missions that followed. NZHistory lists East Timor in 1999–2002 and again in 2007–2008 among the RNZAF’s deployments, and the Air Force Museum records that its preserved Iroquois served in Timor-Leste. No. 40 Squadron’s Hercules supplied New Zealand forces there. Sonuç East Timor became independent in 2002; the RNZAF returned in 2007–2008. Iroquois numbers and dates for each rotation were not confirmed in a fetched source.

Hercules airlift for coalition and New Zealand forces from 2001; a Hercules flew in the August 2021 evacuation from Kabul. NZHistory records that RNZAF Hercules deployed to Afghanistan in 2001, the year the air combat force was disbanded — a reminder of what the government had chosen to keep. In August 2021, as Kabul fell, the RNZAF flew in the evacuation from Kabul. Air Vice-Marshal Darryn Webb listed Kabul in 2021 among the Hercules fleet’s short-notice evacuation tasks when the C-130H retired in 2025. Sonuç New Zealand’s Afghan mission ended in 2021; the RNZAF flew in the Kabul evacuation in August 2021. Deployment details for 2002–2020, NZ casualty figures for the Afghan mission and the number of people evacuated in 2021 were not confirmed in the sources reached, so none is given. |
