Abstract

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) was established in 1921 and series A9300 was created by the RAAF in the same year.
Series A9300 records the service history of RAAF officers; including documents relating to the officer's separation from the RAAF.

Files are arranged alphabetically by surname and include:
- personal details (date of birth, marital status, next of kin, etc);
- previous trades and qualifications;
- rank, appointments and postings;
- courses of instruction;
- awards (decorations, medals, mentions and badges);
- movements, transfers and attachments; and
- promotions, classifications, reductions and reversions.

Some files contain documents relating to contact between the holding office and RAAF officers (and/or an officer's descendants or other interested parties) after the officer left the service.

The series was discontinued in 1959 after the creation of series A703 'Correspondence files multiple number (Canberra) series'.
