Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I haere tonu te No. 76 Squadron ki te tautoko i nga mahi a te Allied huri noa i New Guinea i te 1944. I te 17 o Hanuere i uru ia ki te whakaeke i tetahi puni Hapanihi e tata ana ki Lindenhafen, New Britain i uru ai nga rererangi 73 me te mahi RAAF nui rawa atu ki taua waa i te pakanga. I etahi wiki i muri mai, ko te No. 73 Wing, i taua wa ko te No. 76 me te No. 77 Squadrons i whakauruhia ki te Kittyhawk me te No. 79 Squadron i whakauruhia ki te Spitfire, i tohua kia noho ki nga Moutere Admiralty mo nga ra 90 i muri i to ratou hopu i te pakanga o nga Moutere Admiralty. I tiimata nga hoia a te US Army mai i te 1st Cavalry Division ki te taunga ki enei moutere i te 29 o Hui-tanguru ka tae mai te No. 76 Squadron ki reira i te 9 o Poutu-te-rangi. I muri mai ka whakaratohia e te kapa te kaitautoko whawhai me te tautoko a te hau tata mo nga ope Allied i te rohe i te taha o te toenga o No. 73 Wing. Kaore i hiahiatia te tiaki whawhai o tenei rohe i te marama o Akuhata ka tukuna te No. 76 Squadron ki te No. 81 Wing, kei roto hoki i te No. 77 me te No. 82 Squadrons me te waahanga o te No. 10 Group. Ko te No. 76 me te No. 77 Squadrons i whakaoti i to raatau nekehanga ki Noemfoor i te 13 o Hepetema i reira i arotahi ai ratou me te toenga o te parirau. Mai i waenganui o Oketopa ka whakaekea e te Rōpū Nama 10 ngā tūnga Hapanihi ki te hauauru o New Guinea me ngā moutere ki te rawhiti o Netherlands East Indies (NEI) hei tautoko i te United States
ka tū ki Leyte i Piripi. Ko te No. 81 Wing i arotahi ki New Guinea i te wa e toru nga ope o te No. 78 Wing e toru Kittyhawk-whakanohoia ana i nga whaainga i etahi atu moutere. I te 25 o Noema, i whakaingoatia te Rōpū Nama 10 ki te First Tactical Air Force (1TAF).
