The "Morotai Mutiny" was an incident involving several senior flyers of the Australian First Tactical Air Force (1TAF) in April 1945. The pilots, including Australia's top-scoring ace, Group Captain Clive Caldwell, tendered their resignations in protest at what they saw as the relegation of RAAF fighter squadrons to strategically unimportant ground attack missions. Investigations resulted in three high-ranking officers, including the commander of 1TAF, being relieved of their posts.
