No. 73 Wing was a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) wing of World War II. It was formed in February 1943 at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, as part of No. 9 Operational Group. The wing initially comprised three attack squadrons flying CAC Wirraways, Douglas Bostons, and Bristol Beaufighters, with which it took part in the New Guinea campaign until mid-year. It was then reorganised with three fighter squadrons operating P-40 Kittyhawks and Supermarine Spitfires; in this form it saw action in the New Britain and Admiralty Islands campaigns through 1943–44. The wing was disbanded at Los Negros in August 1944, and by the beginning of 1945 its squadrons had been absorbed into other RAAF wings under No. 10 Operational Group (later the Australian First Tactical Air Force).

Elle est formée en février 1943 à Port Moresby, en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, en tant que partie du No. 9 Operational Group.

Elle est ensuite réorganisée avec trois squadrons de chasseurs équipés de P-40 Kittyhawk et de Supermarine Spitfire ; sous cette forme, elle participe aux campagnes de Nouvelle-Bretagne et des îles de l'Amirauté en 1943-44. L'escadre est dissoute à Los Negros en août 1944, et au début de l'année 1945, ses squadrons sont absorbés par d'autres escadres de la RAAF sous le No. 10 Operational Group (plus tard sous le nom de Australian First Tactical Air Force).

  • A Asa N.º 73 foi uma formação da Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF) durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Formada em Fevereiro de 1943 em Port Moresby, na Papua-Nova Guiné, como parte do Grupo Operacional N.º 9, inicialmente era composta por três esquadrões de ataque equipados com aviões CAC Wirraway, Douglas Boston e Bristol Beaufighter, que participaram na campanha da Nova Guiné até meio do ano de 1943; posteriormente, foi re-organizado com três esquadrões de combate aéreo equipados com aviões P-40 Kittyhawk e Supermarine Spitfire. Com esta nova frota de aeronaves, a asa prestou serviço na Nova Bretanha e na Campanha das Ilhas do Almirantado entre 1943 e 1944. Em Agosto de 1944 a asa foi dissolvida em Los Negros, e no início de 1945 os seus esquadrões foram absorvidos por outras asas da RAAF subordinas ao Grupo Operacional N.º 10 (mais tarde Primeira Força Aérea Táctica Australiana).
