Transport Flight (Japan) was a Royal Australian Air Force air transport unit. The Flight was formed in March 1955 at Iwakuni, Japan with a strength of three C-47 Dakotas and one CAC Wirraway. Transport Flight (Japan)'s main duty was to fly a regular service between Japan and South Korea in support of the Commonwealth of Nations military units based there following the end of the Korean War. The Flight flew its last courier flights in June 1956, returned to Australia in July and was disbanded in September.
