No. 7 Squadron was a Royal Australian Air Force flying squadron of World War I and World War II. The Squadron was first formed as a flight training squadron in October 1917 and trained aircrew for No. 3 Squadron until it was disbanded in early 1919. The Squadron was reformed as an operational training unit in January 1942 but converted to the bomber-reconnaissance role in August 1942. The Squadron flew patrols over northern Australian waters from October 1942 to October 1944 when it deployed to New Guinea. No. 7 Squadron flew strike missions against Japanese positions until the end of the war and was disbanded in December 1945.
