Australian Military Aircraft

Australia began developing military aviation less than 10 years after the Wright Brothers made their first successful powered flight and just 3 years after the first Heavier-than-air military forces were created in the USA and France. With such a long history of military aviation, the three arms of the Australian military have operated a large number of aircraft types, firstly by the Army (1914), then by the Royal Australian Navy (1915) and then by the RAAF, an entity that was established in 1921 expressly for the purpose of operating in the ‘third dimension’.

 

This book has been written as a guide to the large and varied collection of aircraft types that have been operated by, and for, all three services. Some of these aircraft, such as the Supermarine Spitfire, will be very well known to most of the public, but throughout the more than 106 years of Australian military aviation there have been a large number of types that will not be familiar. With descriptions for over 300 aircraft types, illustrated by over 350 photos, the reader will gain an appreciation of the aircraft that have served Australia from the first flight of the Bristol Boxkite in March 1914 through to the latest projects being undertaken by the Australian Defence Forces.

About the Author

With a lifetime interest in both aviation and history, Warrant Officer David Coles is a 37-year veteran of the Royal Australian Air Force and continues to serve as a reservist with the RAAF. Trained as an aircraft avionics technician, the author has worked on Lockheed P-3 Orion Maritime Patrol aircraft and the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 (Classic) Hornet as well as being trained as an accident investigator. He also spent three years as an instructor, teaching Air Power Doctrine and history at the RAAF Air Power Development Centre.

1001 Trivia Questions

Sort Out the Experts from the Pretenders

Trivia Book to challenge those that think the know everything about trivia or for those who want to know some more interesting facts.

 

I have always been interested in history, geography or whose who. When I look around I ask myself does this function have a name or who won this event and so on and this led me to start writing down questions and answer.

I started this as a add hoc process in 1998 and added to it very slowly until late 2016 I decided to finish my idea of a trivia book. Now retired I had the time and over those years I traveled to numerous countries and built up new knowledge.


Friends also put up with me asking them “do you know …..” so to put those knockers I hit the task in November 2016 and am looking at June 2017 with an end product.

If nothing else trivia questions keep the grey cells working and you would be surprised what you really know when you put your mind to it and even learn something new.
I would not say I am a trivia nut but someone who enjoys a mental challenge and learning

About the Author

I must thank my long suffering wife Terri and give credit to my daughter in law Jackie Wood for the excellent drawings at the start of each chapter. The wonderful cartoons throughout the book were done by the very talented cartoonist David Kowalick. All this would not have come together without the excellent staff at Green Hill Publishing.

The friends who put up with me asking “Did you know……” questions over the years deserve a medal. I might mention I started this project in 1998 and dabbled at it but in late 2016 there was a push to finish this project and get the knockers off my back. I wanted to prove to myself also that I could achieve my 1998 dream and get this trivia book out there. If nothing else but gets people’s grey cells working and learn some new facts can’t be a bad thing.
