Production 249 of all models from August 1942 to late 1944 at Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation, Fishermen's Bend, Melbourne.

During the dark days of early 1942, Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation decided to begin producing desperately needed fighter aircraft for the Royal Australian Air Force. To speed design, the basic airframe was based on the North American T-6 Texan trainer adapted to take the only engine available, the Twin Wasp, which was produced locally under license. Surprisingly, the resulting aircraft, though underpowered, was rugged and maneuverable. However, by the time it went into service, P-40s and Spitfires were arriving in quantity and the need for the Boomerang had passed. it was much more successful in the target spotting and close support roles than as a fighter.
