No. 2 and No. 13 Squadrons (Hudson), Royal Australian Air Force, operated from from fields on Ambon, Namlea, and Timor during the ABDA campaign, with their rear base at Darwin. Little to nothing appears in current studies as to the Darwin Area sub-command under which they, presumably, operated, and their contribution to the overall campaign.

Were they under Darwin? How did that work?

Who commanded ABDAAir operations in the Darwin Area? How did this area fit into the overall command structure?
