Abstract

During the Second World War, the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation of Australia designed and built a prototype high performance fighter aircraft, which for the times, was the epitome of fighter aircraft design. The aircraft was designated the CA-15 and only one was ever built. The performance of the CA-15 far exceeded that of any other piston driven aircraft during and just after the war, but unfortunately the introduction of gas turbine powered aircraft spelt the demise of piston engined fighters, and so too further development of the CA-15.
