  • Memories of the Royal Flying Corps Years and Early Days of the Royal Air Force
    Memories of the Royal Flying Corps years and early days of the Royal Air Force As a young boy I remember well the many stories our Dad related to us about his adventurous times he had whilst serving in the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force. On 1st April 1918, the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service combined to form the Royal Air Force. As its Centenary is celebrated at this time, I feel moved to write about those years our Dad served his King and Country so that readers of today will, hopefully, get some idea of the most interesting and challenging times experienced when man took to the skies! In haste, my elder brother, Stuart, and I wish to extend our grateful thanks to Jasper Bouverie, film producer, for photographing our Dad’s diaries, the surviving letters he wrote to his parents, all the photographs in two albums, his detailed drawings of aircraft and aeronautical explanations, etc, and other items. All these were sent to me so that I could transcribe them to produce this long account. The following extracts from Dad’s little pocket diaries, measuring 3” x 2”, have been specially selected. My brother, Stuart, has kindly supplied further information which is contained within square brackets at the end of certain passages. I have also made a few comments within many of the square brackets. Some items of information have been obtained from the Internet. Dad’s writing was very small and he never bothered to dot the i and cross the t in many words! However, with the zoom button on the computer the enlargements on the screen have made it easier for me to decipher the words of which I had difficulty in reading straight from the tiny diaries.

  • Western Australia and the World in 1918
    WA: A Centenary of Change 1918 – 2018 Western Australia and the World in 1918 1918 was a year of war, peace, reunion, and, so much sadness. Love for the British Empire, had cost the Australian nation much. Out of a population of nearly five million, over 331,780 men and women served in the war, 60,284 were killed and over 152,000 were wounded during the four years of conflict. In 1918 alone approximately 14,000 Australians died due to the war. Over the four years of the Great War 66 Australians were awarded the Victorian Cross for extreme bravery in battle. Throughout the war young men, once fit and eager for adventure, were killed or returned to Australia maimed and wounded. The impact of wounded men and those thousands of soldiers killed in Gallipoli, the Middle East and on the Western Front were like ripples in the pond of their community, touching so many lives – their family, girlfriends, school and work friends. The year 1918 will be covered here to introduce the resource “WA; A Centenary of Change 1918 – 2018”. A global, national and Western Australian perspective is taken to provide a context for the changes caused by the Great War and the Armistice in 1918. Australians were fighting in the Middle East and on the Western Front during 1918. The conquest of Gaza and Jerusalem in 1917 enabled that the Allied troops to occupy Lebanon and Syria during 1918. The Allies, including Australian captured Jericho in February 1918 and advanced into Jordan during March, but were counter attacked in May.

  • The History of Parachuting in Australia up to 1958
    A DRAFT HISTORY OF PARACHUTING IN AUSTRALIA UP TO THE FOUNDATION OF SPORT PARACHUTING IN 1958 by Frank Mines, D-2034 1. INTRODUCTION The following work examines the history of parachuting in Australia up to the foundation of sport parachuting in Australia in 1958. An important foundation for the writing of the history of any organisation, activity or group of people is that framework of ideas and events within which the history of the activity, organisation or group worked itself out. This can be designated the historiography of the activity and its relations with other historiographies, of nations, movements and so forth needs to be identified. It enables the activity or organisation to be compared and contrasted with other human activities and organisations. The other important element in writing history is the sources of the history, what might be called the archaeology of the activity, and our attitude to sources will be influenced by our historiographical approach. A more detailed discussion of the sources is provided in the bibliography. Although interest in parachuting goes back a long way in history - for example, we know that toy parachutes were a popular present for children in the European Middle Ages, and there were experiments in jumping off towers and walls with parachutes - modern parachuting begins in the context of the European Enlightenment, with its espousal of a methodology of observation and experiment to enable human beings to acquire a progressive mastery of themselves and their environment. Knowledge and skill were given priority over such ancien régime values as valour and loyalty as the keys to human betterment.
