One of this project’s chief allures is that there is no single book- length study of New Zealand’s contribution to the 1914–18 air war — no official history, no academic monograph, not even a military aviation enthusiast’s pamphlet.1 Moreover, in the 100 years following the conflict, only one Great War airman, Alfred Kingsford, published his memoirs.2 This is incredible, especially when you consider the mountain of books spawned by New Zealand’s Second World War aviation experience.3 Only slightly offsetting this dearth of secondary literature are three biographies of New Zealand airmen which contain chapters covering their Great War flying careers: G.

  • Short History
    A Short History of 208 Squadron 208 Squadron is indebted to the following authors for their works on the Squadron history, from which the following article has been compiled: Dr D G Styles ‘All the Eights - Eight Decades of Naval Eight / 208’ Mr J D R Rawlings ‘History of 208 Squadron’ Air Pictorial, March 1975. The Air Historical Branch. GENESIS In the summer of 1915, the advantage in the air battles of the Great War was held by the Germans, with the Fokker ‘Eindekker.’ It was not a particularly outstanding aeroplane, but it did have one significant feature which caused it to be see as the scourge of the Allies. That feature was a synchronised gun - one which could be fired through the blades of the propeller without cutting it in half. Two Fokker engineers, Heinrich Luebbe and Fritz Heber, devised a cam-operated mechanism that was connected to the oil pump of the E1’s Oberursel rotary engine and the trigger of the Parabellum machine gun. The result was that when the pilot pulled the trigger on the gun, the oil pump, on the feed stroke, would actuate the cam and interrupt the firing mechanism of the gun. Small wonder then, for a while, that morale sank and some Allied pilots were heard to describe themselves as ‘Fokker Fodder.’ With the aim of raising British and French morale, a plan was put in hand for a major offensive, aimed for the spring of 1916. At this same time, the summer of 1915, Wing Captain C L Lambe had been given command of the Naval Air Forces at Dover and Dunkirk and was in the process of reorganising and expanding in preparation for that spring offensive.

  • The Double Cross System and MI-5'S Supremacy in World War II
    “A Game of Human Chess”: The Double Cross System and MI-5’s Supremacy in World War II By Adamya Sharma History Departmental Undergraduate Honors Thesis University of Colorado at Boulder April 7, 2015 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Thomas Zeiler Department of History and International Affairs Defense Committee: Dr. Fred Anderson Department of History Dr. Thomas Metcalf Department of Philosophy Abstract World War II featured monumental battles, such as the Normandy invasions, the Battle of the Bulge, Stalingrad, Iwo Jima, El Alamein, and Kursk. While historical scholarship of the World War II generally focuses on the war’s grand military engagements, it is imperative to note that Allied and Axis intelligence units battled for supremacy in a war of deception. The Double Cross system employed by the British military intelligence division (MI-5) was, virtually from the war’s onset, successful in overwhelming its German opponent, the Abwehr by turning its agents into supportive double agents. Traditional historiography follows the classic spy narrative and credits the success of MI-5 to its daring agents, brilliant creators, or stalwart handlers who used wit and guile to deceive their German adversary. In this thesis I will argue that the success of the Double Cross system should be attributed to more than solely the actions of the Double Cross team. Though the operatives played an invaluable role, the existence of an overriding, well-structured system determined their success. By examining the uniqueness of the Double Cross system, this thesis will seek to illustrate that the victorious outcome of the British in the intelligence war was due to their tireless effort to perfect a system of counterespionage.

  • An International Spymaster and Mystery Man
    An International Spymaster and Mystery Man: ABWEHR OFFICER HILMAR G. J. DIERKS (1889-1940) AND HIS AGENTS by F.A.C. Kluiters and E. Verhoeyen Hilmar Dierks in May 1940 on a Abwehr Officer Dierks in his office destroyed warship of the Royal Navy in La Panne In the history of the German secret service known as the Abwehr, few personalities emerge as strongly as Hilmar Dierks, who served his country’s secret service from 1914 to his death in 1940, probably without interruption. In the Thirties, he was attached to the Abwehrstelle of Wehrkreis X in Hamburg. He worked consecutively for sections Luft and Marine, whose primary aim it was to gather naval and air information about the United Kingdom and the United States, and subsidiary on France. Abwehr Hamburg used frequently neutral countries such as Holland and Belgium as a jumping board for spying against the UK and the USA, e.g. by recruiting agents who could forward incoming reports from these countries by acting as a ‘mail drop’ or ‘relay station’. As far as we know, Hilmar Dierks ran agents in Holland, Belgium, France and the UK. The purpose of this notice is not only to describe the activity of Hilmar Dierks (whom we shall call HD hereafter) as an Abwehr officer, but also to outline his network of agents and, last but not least, to analyse the way in which British counterintelligence succeeded in uncovering this network and part of HD’s schemes. We have decided not to include footnotes referring to 1 each and every document we used; a complete list of sources can be found at the end of this notice1.
