Notes:
More than 1,200 pilots were successfully trained from 1942 
until 1946 at 2 OTU Mildura. Almost every fighter pilot who 
served in the South West Pacific theatre was either trained 
at Mildura or did a ‘refresher’ course there.

Approximately 53 young RAAF pilots lost their lives while training 
at Mildura. They are mostly buried in the Mildura Lawn Cemetery 
at Nichols Point.
