Summary

The Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council (CAARC) was established after the Second World War, in London, for the purpose of promoting the co-ordination of research and development of defence technology in the area of aeronautical engineering, between the countries of the British Commonwealth.

"Australian newsletters, Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council' were produced annually, summarising the research in Australia for the CAARC chief coordinator, and for the benefit of other researchers.

Representatives from Australia, to attend the CAARC meetings, were usually nominated by the Aeronautical Research Consultative Committee.
