The Political Decisions and Policy Leading to the Royal Australian Air Force Having No Fighters Or Interceptors for the Coming War Against Japan
The political decisions and policy leading to the Royal Australian Air Force having no fighters or interceptors for the coming war against Japan James Rorrison BA; Honours Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 KEY WORDS Australian aircraft industry; Australia’s Air Defence; Beaufort; Sir Winston Churchill; John Curtin; Billy Hughes; Interwar politics; Joseph Lyons; Sir Robert Menzies; Messerschmitt; Milestones in military aircraft; Mustang; Royal Air Force; Royal Australian Air Force; United States Army Air Corps; War against Japan; Warplanes; Weapons of World War I; Weapons of World War II; Wirraway; World War I; World War II; Zero. i ABSTRACT One of the most dangerous, illusional and deceptive of Australian pre-World War 11 beliefs was that the British represented a powerhouse of military protection against any foreign intimidation. In reality they impersonated a defence system without substance and an actual siphon of Australia’s military resources towards their own ends while offering only a potentially high-risk strategic alliance that helped bring Australia to the brink of disaster. As just one outcome on 18 January 1942, over two months after the Japanese air attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, less than half a squadron of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Wirraway lightly armed training planes alighted from an airstrip at Rabaul on New Britain ostensibly to intercept a Japanese naval air armada of over one hundred modern military aircraft, the outcome of which was a national tragedy. The Australian-made and manned Wirraways were shot from the sky or crash-landed with the loss of most of their crews.

Sopwith Aviation Company – the First World War Comes to an End
SOPWITH AVIATION COMPANY – THE FIRST WORLD WAR COMES TO AN END The 1918 Sopwith Snipe was the successor to the Camel with a more powerful Bentley rotary engine. It was the RAF’s front line fighter until 1926 The Sopwith Camel had its shortcomings, including poor upward view for the pilot. In 1917 Herbert Smith designed its successor with the pilot's eye-line level with the top wing giving uninterrupted forward and upward views. Sopwith leased a large new National Aircraft Factory in North Kingston to build huge numbers of Snipe. The Snipe was very successful in France for the last few months of the war. Over 2,000 Snipe were built and after the war they served in the Home Defence role and overseas, remaining in RAF service until 1926. The 1918 Sopwith Salamander TF 2 was an armoured ground attack fighter developed from the Snipe Hundreds of these aircraft were being built alongside the Snipe in Kingston when the war ended earlier than predicted and all un-started orders were cancelled. A few Salamanders did reach France before the armistice. The 1918 high performance Sopwith Dragon was a Snipe with the promising ABC Dragonfly radial engine which proved to be very unreliable The Sopwith T1 Cuckoo torpedo bomber, just too late for the war, was retained post-war as the only RAF torpedo aeroplane which could operate from aircraft carriers Sopwith developed the Cuckoo from their B1 Bomber to meet an Admiralty requirement to attack the German fleet in its home anchorages. All but the prototype were built by sub-contractors, Sopwith being too busy satisfying the huge demand for its fighters.

Sopwith Camel
Sopwith Camel Sopwith 2F.1 Camel A Sopwith Camel at the Imperial War Museum, London Type Biplane fighter Manufacturer Sopwith Aviation Company Maiden flight December 1916 Introduction June 1917 Primary users RFC (RAF) RNAS, AAF The Sopwith Camel Scout is a British First World War single-seat fighter aircraft that was famous for its maneuverability. Design and development Intended as a replacement for the Sopwith Pup, the Camel prototype first flew in December 1916, powered by a 110 hp Clerget 9Z. Known as the "Big Pup" early on in its development, the aircraft was armed with two .303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine guns mounted in the cowl, firing forward through the propeller disc. A fairing surrounding the gun installation created a hump that led to the name Camel. The type entered squadron service in June 1917 with No. 4 Squadron of the Royal Naval Air Service, near Dunkirk. The following month, it became operational with No. 70 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. By February 1918, 13 squadrons were fully equipped with the Camel. Approximately 5,500 were ultimately produced. Operational history Replica of Camel F.I flown by Lt. George A. Vaughn Jr., 17th Aero Squadron 1 This aircraft is currently displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force Sopwith Camel, 1930s magazine illustration with the iconic British WWI fighter in a dogfight with a Fokker triplane Unlike the preceding Pup and Triplane, the Camel was not considered pleasant to fly. The Camel owed its difficult handling characteristics to the grouping of the engine, pilot, guns, and fuel tank within the first seven feet of the aircraft, coupled with the strong gyroscopic effect of the rotary engine.
