No 7 Squadron RAAF could be known as the forgotten squadron. To many it may come as a surprise that during World War II No 7 Squadron was famous in the RAAF for its great camaraderie and esprit de corps; being known as the 'Happy Squadron'. When No 7 Squadron was at the forefront of the New Guinea campaign during 1944-45, there was a false impression that Australians were only engaged in 'mopping-up' operations. Reality tells a different story and the truth is a remarkable one. We Never Disappoint tells the story of No 7 Squadron, RAAF, and their struggle as the unit built itself up several times to be ready for operational deployments in the Pacific, only to be let down by aircraft shortages, constant personnel changes and uncertainty over its role in the defence of Australia.
