During World War 2 the air forces of the former Netherlands East Indies (NEI), the Militaire Luchtvaart van het Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger and the Marine Luchtvaart Dienst, operated in Australia in close cooperation with Australian forces and American forces located in Australia.
This separate section of ADF serials deals with this topic, particularly in instances where such matters cannot readily be included in the main section of ADF serials.
Basically the section covers the era from 1940, when the Japanese threat started and the NEI began discussion with Australia on joint defense matters, to 1950 when the Dutch government formally recognised the Indonesian republic.
For readers interested in aspects of aviation in the NEI beyond those years, reference is made to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEI_aviation/.
