Eastern Area Command was one of several geographically based commands raised by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) during World War II. It was formed in May 1942, and controlled units located in New South Wales and southern Queensland. Headquartered in Sydney, its responsibilities included air defence, aerial reconnaissance and protection of the sea lanes within its boundaries. Its flying units operated fighters, reconnaissance bombers, and dive bombers, and concentrated on convoy escort, maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare. Its headquarters moved to Glenbrook in 1949. By this time most of the RAAF's operational units were based within Eastern Area's boundaries, and the officer in command was responsible for air defence across Australia. In October 1953, the RAAF began reorganising its command-and-control system, and Eastern Area was re-formed as Home Command, eventually becoming Air Command.

- Tks Dan, again looking good. The only thing I wonder (and I think I used the expression myself in the article) is if we need "all of" (Australia)... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 03:50, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
