SUMMARY:Heroes Before Gallipoli
DESCRIPTION:2014 will mark the centenary of the capture of the German wireless station at Bita Paka in Rabaul on 11 September 1914 by the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force (ANMEF)\, commanded by Colonel William Holmes DSO.\nWar between Britain and Germany was declared on 4 August and a few days later a telegram was sent by the British Secretary of State for Colonies to the Australian Governor-General\, asking that German wireless stations be seized at Yap (in the Caroline Islands)\, at Nauru(in the south west Pacific Ocean) and at Rabaul (in Papua New Guinea). New Zealand forces were asked to seize the German wireless station at Samoa. \nAn expeditionary force of 1\,500 men was raised\, known as the ANMEF\, comprising a 1\,023 man army battalion\, two machine gun sections\, a signals section and an Army Medical Corps detachment.

SUMMARY:Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show 2014
DESCRIPTION:The Centenary of Military Aviation 2014 Air Show is proudly presented by the Royal Australian Air Force at RAAF Williams\, Point Cook\, Victoria over the weekend of 1st and 2nd March 2014.\nPoint Cook is the birthplace of military aviation in Australia and the oldest continually operating military airfield in the world. \nEncompassing a spectacular Air Show with air displays and ground displays\, the Centenary of Military Aviation is a national event celebrating 100 years of military aviation in Australia. \nGates are open from 8am to 4pm. Flying displays will be held from 10am to 3:30pm. \nThe flying program is the same for both days of the Air Show. \n\n \nEntry is by pre-paid ticketing which will be available from December 2013. Please refer back to this website for further details in the coming weeks. \nThe event highlights the significant advances in military aircraft during the past 100 years. \nOn display for the first time at Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show 2014 will be a newly built replica of a Bristol BoxKite aeroplane. The Bristol BoxKite was the first military aircraft flown in Australia at RAAF Point Cook\, on 1 March 1914. No original Bristol BoxKite aircraft survive today. Three reproductions were built for the making of the film ‚ÄòThose magnificent men in their flying machines‚Äô. One is on display at the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery\, another is on display at the Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire (where it is still flown during flying displays)\, and the third one is on display at the Museum of Australian Army Flying in Queensland. \nParliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence\, The Hon Darren Chester MP\, and Deputy Chief of Air Force\, Air Vice-Marshal Leo Davies CSC\, launched the Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show. \nParliamentary Secretary Chester said the Air Show will commemorate a significant moment in Australia‚Äôs military aviation history. \n‚ÄúThe first of March 2014 will be the 100th anniversary of the first military flight in Australia when Lieutenant Eric Harrison\, originally from Castlemaine and an aviation instructor with the Central Flying School\, took off in a Bristol Boxkite here at the spiritual home of the Air Force\, Point Cook. \n‚ÄúThis air show will provide a wonderful opportunity for Australians to see the evolution in technology and capability of military aviation in this country\,‚Äù he said. \nOn display for the first time at the Air Show will be a newly built replica of a Bristol Boxkite aeroplane. No original Boxkite aircraft exist today. The Boxkite replica\, built at the RAAF Museum at Point Cook\, recently completed a program of flight testing when the aircraft was successfully flown on 11 September\, 2013. \nDeputy Chief of Air Force\, Air Vice-Marshal Davies\, said the Air Force was proud to host the Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show. \n‚ÄúThe air show is an opportunity to demonstrate the professionalism and aviation capabilities of today‚Äôs Defence Force. \n‚ÄúWe have chosen the theme of Tradition\, Innovation and Evolution for the event to reinforce the extraordinary journey of military aviation from hand built aircraft like the Boxkite to the complex and powerful military aircraft of today\,‚Äù Air Vice-Marshal Davies said. \nThe Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show will be held 1‚Äì2 March 2014 at the home of military aviation\, RAAF Williams\, Point Cook\, Victoria\, and will be a spectacular event featuring static and flying displays by historic and contemporary aircraft. \nTickets for the air show are now on sale.

Between 1939 and 1945\, they flew in both Australian and British squadrons with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in Coastal\, Bomber and Fighter Commands. \n  \n\nSurrey\, England. C. 1942. Portrait of a pilot of No. 457 (Spitfire) Squadron RAAF at RAF Station Redhill on one of the Squadron's Spitfire aircraft.\n  \nAustralia\, with the other British Dominions had adopted the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) to provide trained aircrews to fight with the RAF. Australian recruits received elementary training at air bases around Australia and many of them were then sent overseas for advanced training. Before the scheme ended in mid-1944\, more than 10\,000 Australians had received advanced training in Canada and 674 had been sent to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) before joining the RAF in Britain. Squadrons which were predominantly Australian aircrew were designated as RAAF squadrons and 17 of these were eventually formed: 12 in Britain and 5 in the Middle East. Many Australians also served in RAF squadrons. \n  \nAustralians served mainly as aircrew – pilots\, engineers\, navigators\, wireless operators\, observers and air gunners. Some also went as ground crew and carried out the maintenance and administrative tasks on the ground necessary to keep aircraft flying. Between 1940 and 1943\, Australian airmen participated in the air war against the Germans and Italians in North Africa and the Middle East\, in the defence of Malta in 1942\, in the Allied drive through Sicily and Italy between 1943 and 1945\, and in the skies over the UK\, Europe and Britain’s sea lanes from 1939 until 1945. \n  \nGroup portrait of Australian air crew and ground staff at Lancaster Heavy Bomber no.460 squadron RAAF with Bomber Command at RAF station Binbook\, 1944. (UK1655 - Australian War Memorial)\nThe most costly missions were with RAF Bomber Command and Australian aircrews flew in virtually every major operation. Although their numbers amounted to less than 2 per cent of Australia‚Äôs World War II enlistments\, the 3486 men who were killed in Bomber Command accounted for almost 20 per cent of all Australian combat deaths. Approximately 1\,500 RAAF aircrew parachuted from their aircraft over enemy territory and spent the remainder of the war in prison camps. \n[Drawn from http://www.ww2australia.gov.au/raaf/]
