  • CROSSING the PACIFIC the Flight of the Southern Cross 1928
    CROSSING THE PACIFIC The flight of the Southern Cross 1928 Mementoes from the Crome Collection and other aviation collection of the National Library of Autralia On 31 May 1928 the Australian airmen, Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm, together with two Americans, the navigator Harry Lyon and the radio operator Jim Warner, left San Francisco on the first flight to Australia across the Pacific Ocean. Kingsford Smith was fully aware of the historic significance of the flight: I have a vivid recollection of the morning of May 31, 1928, when, with a roar of the engines, we took off from Oakland air­ port. The morning was misty, but the weather forecast was good, and as we headed out over the Golden Gate I experienced a sensation of relaxation and relief from the worries and anxieties of the past nine months, and at the same time a tremendous elation at the prospect before me. To me personally all our troubles were over. What lay in front was a glorious adventure — and a glorious achievement. It is true that others had pioneered the path before us as far as Hawaii, but after that we were going into the unknown. Balbao [sic] had been the first white man to set eyes on the Pacific; Magellan had been the first to furrow its water with his keel; Bligh had navigated its unknown waters for 3000 miles in an open boat. I felt that we were following in the footsteps of these great predecessors, and that we could claim kinship with them. They had traversed virgin waters; we were about to traverse virgin air.

  • Australia Through the Prism of Qantas: Distance Makes a Comeback
    The Otemon Journal of Australian Studies, vol. 31, pp. 135−157, 2005 １３５ Australia Through the Prism of Qantas: Distance Makes a Comeback Peter J. Rimmer* Abstract Distance and remoteness have been making a comeback among economists interpreting Australia’s place in the world. Although there are claims by telecommunications theorists that distance is dead, this is not the case in international air transport. As a means of elaborating this proposition, attention is focused on tracing changes in the overseas operations and route network of Qantas (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd) since its inception in 1920. After discussing Qantas’s origins three issues are explored: how did Qantas reflect Australia’s Imperial connection; how did the nationalization of Qantas reshape the airline’s pri- orities; how has the privatization of Qantas changed the airline’s main concerns? There is an abundance of material on the history and development of Qantas’s international passenger net- work to address these issues. The material ranges from annual reports; company histories; auto- biographies and a biography of co-founder Sir W. H. Fysh (1895−1974); anecdotes from for- mer pilots providing insights into the places used for their ‘slips’ or crew stopovers between flights; paraphernalia such as timetables and posters; the travel diaries of frequent (and infre- quent) flyers; a living memory bank in George A. Roberts (born 1909), who worked for the company between 1936 and 1970 and who now manages the Qantas Historical Collection; and Qantas Virtual Airway providing detailed information for game-players to simulate historic, current and future flights.

  • The History of the Australian Aerospace Industry
    School of Mechanical Engineering MECH ENG 3016 Aeronautical Engineering 1 The History of the Australian Aerospace Industry Authors: Jarryd Pfeiffer 1132307 Kelly Balnaves 1132985 Bradley Darlington 1132806 Michael Cannizzo 1131304 Christian Rogers 1130940 Alex Horstmann 1131838 Submitted 3 rd October 2007 Lecturer: Dr. Maziar Arjomandi 1 ABSTRACT The Australian Aerospace industry began with the work of Lawrence Hargrave in the late 19 th century, which preceded and most likely influenced the first aeroplane ever built. Throughout the early 20 th century Australian aviators such as Bert Hinkler and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith made history by completing record-breaking flights all over the world. The Royal Australian Air Force and later the RAAF played an important role in both World Wars, aiding allied troops in locations as diverse as Europe, the Middle East and China. Australia’s size and scattered population made it important to establish an aviation industry as early as possible. Commercial aviation began in 1920 when Qantas was founded, later on; Australia became home to the world’s first flying doctor service. To this day, both Qantas and the Royal Flying Doctors Service are still operating. Throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s, the outback town of Woomera in South Australia became an important testing ground for the Australian and British military. Later on it was used as a base to launch a number of rockets and satellites. More recently, the Woomera range has played host to the University of Queensland’s HyShot Hypersonics program and is slated to become the launch site of the Kistler K1 reusable launch vehicle.
