Talk:Australian First Tactical Air Force

Article title

Should this article be moved to First Tactical Air Force (Australia) or First Tactical Air Force RAAF per the usual Wikipedia naming conventions, or was the 'Australian' out the front a part of its formal name? In the official history George Odgers refers to it as being the 'First Tactical Air Force RAAF' in the first time he mentions it (see, Air War Against Japan, p. 298) and subsequently abbreviates this to 'First T.A.F.'.

You're the man with most sources. I suggest you wait until your sources give a clear picture as to what the name in common use was, then move it - no need to make a precipitous move. Buckshot06(prof) 11:55, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree; the article has had this name since 2005 and changing it would create a ton of redirects. Nick-D (talk) 22:07, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Mission of First Tactical Air Force?

What was the mission of the organization? From its name, one could assume that the tactical use of airpower against Japanese forces within the geographic responsibility area of the Tactical Air Force. However, after reading this article and the Morotai Mutiny article, I'm at a loss as to what the mission really was and how it was to be executed. The article would be improved if the mission and its implications were included.--TGC55 (talk) 07:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Agree the purpose needed to be spelt out, and added more on that as part of a recent expansion. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:06, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
