  • GOC Irish Air Corps
    The Military History Society of Ireland. by kind permission of the GOC Irish Air Corps will host a seminar: Military Aviation in Ireland: The Formative Years 1912 – 1922 on Saturday, 15 September 2018 in Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel, County Dublin. In September 1912, No 2 squadron of the Royal Flying Corps took part in the manoeuvres of Irish Command. Based at Rathbane in Limerick the aircraft flew numerous sorties to the astonishment and applause of the large crowds that gathered to watch them. This was the beginning of military aviation in Ireland. The outbreak of war two years later led to massive developments in aircraft, their roles and numbers. In 1914, the Royal Flying Corps had less than 200 aircraft; four years later, at the Armistice, the newly formed Royal Air Force had over 27,000 aircraft. Aircraft were deployed in fighter, bomber, army co-operation and coastal patrol units, all supported by training units. Many Irishmen served with the RFC and RAF with distinction. This expansion had an impact in Ireland with the building of aerodromes at many sites including Baldonnel and Collinstown. The end of World War I brought new challenges to the RAF in Ireland and squadrons were deployed to assist the British Army in the War of Independence. The Anglo-Irish Treaty did not bring peace. As the civil war erupted, the new Free State had the challenge of establishing an air force amid the chaos and turmoil of that conflict. These are the subjects that will be explored in this seminar. Programme. Time Speaker Presentation 10:00am Mr Lar Joye.
