Product Description
Australia, the first Commonwealth nation to found her own navy, was also the first to create and maintain her own air force. This book realtes the extraordinary achievements of Australian airmen from the founding of the 'Australian Flying Corps' of First World War fame and the subsequent birth of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAFF) in 1921, through the Second World War to the jet age of today.Rare photographs show the aircraft Australian airmen flew, while the text recounts the battles they fought and the range of service seen by Australians from the Western Front dogfights of 1917 to the Second Iraq War.
