Comments: The detailed history of No. 7 Operational Training Unit – Tocumwal.

Now a scarce and highly desirable RAAF unit history title to a small and relatively unknown unit.

No. 7 Operational Training Unit RAAF (7OTU) was an Royal Australian Air Force heavy bomber training unit of World War II. 7OTU was formed on 12 February 1944 at RAAF Station Tocumwal in southern New South Wales to train RAAF B-24 Liberator crews. 7OTU was initially equipped with ex-USAAF B-24Bs but later received new B-24Js. At full strength the unit was equipped with 54 B-24s and was responsible for training 28 crews per month. 7OTU was disbanded following the end of the war.
