In 1918, the Royal Air Force became the first major independent air force in the world. Formed to serve a strategic need in the most intensive war that Britain had then fought, the RAF continued in the inter-war era to play a key role in the political and diplomatic world, and in defending the Empire. During the Second World War, the RAF was pivotal in defending Britain from invasion in the Battle of Britain, and then in leading the assault on the Axis powers, most notably through the contentious bomber offensive against Germany. In the post-war world, the RAF adapted and developed into a force to meet the needs of the United Kingdom during the Cold War, the retreat from Empire, and most recently in the move to coalition warfare against low intensity threats, all against a backdrop of diminishing resources and shifting priorities. This is the story of the RAF over the first century of its existence: how it has confronted the many challenges and threats it has faced — from the Luftwaffe in 1940, through the spectre of nuclear holocaust in the Cold War, to the fight against terrorism in the 21st century — and how it has contributed to the defence of the United Kingdom throughout that period.

The Royal Air Force is synonymous with its heroic achievements in the summer of 1940, when Winston Churchill's "famous few" held Goering's Luftwaffe at bay in the Battle of Britain. For much of the 20th century, warplanes were a symbol of the modern era, but within the space of a hundred years, military aviation has morphed from exotic to mundane. Aviators always seemed different from soldiers and sailors - more adventurous, questing and imaginative. In both world wars air aces dominated each side's propaganda, capturing hearts and dreams. In Wings, Patrick Bishop brings us a compelling account of military flying from its heroic early days to the present.

Commemorating the first century of aviation, this chronology is dedicated to the men and women who gave their lives to advance air and space flight. It includes significant air and space events since the Wright brothers first demonstrated in 1903 that humankind could fly in heavier-than-air machines. Although focused on the evolution of the United States Air Force (USAF), it also includes major developments in military, naval, civil, and international air power. Until World War I, military leaders had conceived of the airplane primarily as a reconnaissance and artillery-spotting tool. By the end of 1918, however, the airplane was already performing other missions, including air superiority, strategic bombardment, interdiction, close air support, and airlift. Aviation continued to evolve after the war, as evidenced by increased aircraft ranges, altitudes, and speeds. These growing capabilities allowed transcontinental and transoceanic flights as well as encouraged airline service and airmail. The U.S. Navy commissioned its first aircraft carrier in 1922. The U.S. Army Air Service made the first flight around the world in 1924, demonstrating the global reach of air power. Metal monoplanes featuring enclosed cockpits and retractable landing gear replaced fabric-skinned, open-cockpit biplanes with fixed wheels. The Army Air Corps, established in 1926, developed large, long-range bombers and a doctrine for their use. World War II accelerated advances in aviation technology that saw production of faster, larger, higher-flying, and longer-range airplanes. Japan's surrender shortly after the first atomic bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki demonstrated that air power could be decisive in the outcome of wars. Jet aircraft, ballistic and cruise missiles, pressurized cabins, and radar were all legacies of the war. So too were the introductions of airborne operations, the helicopter as a military vehicle, and global air transport. Recognizing the growing importance of aviation to national defense, Congress created an independent USAF in September 1947, just two years after World War II. That same year, Capt. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager, USAF, pioneered supersonic flight. Almost immediately the new Air Force proved its worth by saving the western sectors of Berlin from Communist aggression with the largest airlift in history (1948-49). Air power won the first battle of the Cold War.

Aircraft of The Royal Australian Air Force tells the story of the RAAF’s first one hundred years by describing the acquisition, operation, and service record of the multitude of aircraft types flown by the RAAF. The 176 aircraft types include the flimsy wood and canvas aircraft typical of World War I, through the technological advances during and after World War II, to modern fifth-generation, complex aircraft like the F-35 Lightning II. Even before its formation Sir Richard Williams, the Father of the RAAF, had decided to employ an alpha-numeric numbering system to identify and account for each aircraft in service. This system started with A1, A2, A3 etc as each type of aircraft came into service. Each individual aircraft within each series was identified as A1-1, A1-2 and so on and the aircraft serial became known colloquially as the ‘A-number’. With some exceptions over the century since the A-number system started, aircraft entered RAAF service in broadly the sequence of the A-numbers, and so this book is intended to assist in charting the 100-year history of the RAAF by listing aircraft operated in A-number sequence, rather than by listing them by role (such as Fighter, Bomber, Maritime, Trainer, Transport etc) or alphabetically by name or by manufacturer. The inclusion of a comprehensive Index and the Quick Reference Guide to aircraft by role is intended to facilitate the location of the entry for any specific type of aircraft for those who may not already know its A-number. Aircraft of The Royal Australian Air Force is a must have for all those who have served in the RAAF, those with a passion for military aviation and aircraft in general, and the broader members of the public wishing to gain an appreciation of the Royal Australian Air Force in its centenary year.
