It looks at the co-operation between Special Operations Australia, Special Operations Executive of Britain and the US Officeof Strategic Services and their actions with and against each other during the Pacific War. Based on hithertounused archival sources, it argues that the cancellation of 'Kingfisher' - and the failure to rescue the Sandakan prisoners - can be explained by the motivations, decisions and actions of particular British officers in the interplay of the wartime alliance. The politics of wartime alliances played out at both the level of grand strategy but also in interaction between officers within the planning headquarters in the Southwest Pacific Area, with severe implications for those most directly affected.

  • THIRTY YEARS with FLYING ARTS – 1971 to 2001 Chapter 1
    1 FROM RIVER BANKS TO SHEARING SHEDS: THIRTY YEARS WITH FLYING ARTS – 1971 to 2001 Chapter 1: Introduction This thesis traces the history of a unique Queensland art school, which began as ‘Eastaus’ (for Eastern Australia) in 1971 when Mervyn Moriarty, its founder, learned to fly a small plane in order to take his creative art school to the bush. In 1974 the name was changed to ‘The Australian Flying Arts School’; in 1994 it became ‘Flying Arts Inc.’ To avoid confusion the popular name ‘Flying Arts’ is used throughout the study. The thesis will show that when creative art (experimental art where the artist relies on his subjective sensibility), came to Brisbane in the 1950s, its dissemination by Moriarty throughout Queensland in the 1970s was a catalyst which brought social regeneration for hundreds of women living on rural properties and in large and small regional towns throughout Queensland. The study will show that through its activities the school enhanced the lives of over six thousand people living in regional Queensland and north-western New South Wales.1 Although some men were students, women predominated at Flying Arts workshops. Because little is known about country women in rural social organizations this study will focus on women, and their growing participation within the organization, to understand why they flocked to Moriarty’s workshops, and why creative art became an important part of so many lives. The popularity of the workshops, and the social interaction they supplied for so many, is a case study for Ross’s argument
