Book excerpt: " This volume tells briefly the story of the Royal Australian Navy and of Australian naval policy between the wars, and then records the part played by the ships and men of that Navy on every ocean and particularly in the eastern Mediterranean and Indian and Pacific Oceans from 1939 until the end of the first quarter of 1942. When the volume ends most of the surviving ships are on the Australia Station again and the Japanese fleets dominate half the Pacific Ocean and the seas to the north of Australia. The [author] describes not only the actions of the Australian ships but the problems and policies of the British fleets of which they often formed a part, and discusses the strategical and administrative questions encountered by the senior leaders in Australia." --Publisher's description.

Download or read book The Skyhawk Years written by Peter Greenfield and published by . This book was released on 2023-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk served with the Royal Australian Navy from 1968 until 1984 with two squadrons: VF805 and VC724. VF805 was the frontline fighter unit that served aboard the aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne, while VC724 was shore-based for training and support from Naval Air Station Nowra.During that period the fixed wing aircraft on the Melbourne gave the RAN a unique capability that was central to Australian defence policy. The Skyhawk Years is a story of busy and varied deployments around Australia, Southeast Asia and regularly to the multinational Rimpac exercises in Hawaii. With first-hand stories from pilots and maintainers, the challenges of operations from the world's smallest aircraft carrier are well explained. Also told are thrilling stories of air combat manoeuvres against fighters from other countries, with the A-4 often surprising more well-credentialled adversaries. A string of mishaps ended the embarkation of Skyhawks on the Melbourne in 1980, with a sad period following which saw the ultimate scrapping of RAN fixed wing aviation four years later. However, among the former pilots and maintainers many fond memories of A-4 operations remain alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quiet achievers in the most dangerous workplace in the world¿They are the 'Birdies' - the proud members of a unique fighting force unknown to the majority of Australians whose land and lives they have long protected.Officially known as the Australian Fleet Air Arm, they have operated as an aviation component of the Royal Australian Navy since 1947; quiet achievers in what is considered the most dangerous workplace in the world.Their "airfields" are the decks of purpose built aircraft carriers, landing strips pitching and rolling in deep blue water, far from land.Launching and landing their fixed wing aircraft in often atrocious weather and with no margin for error.These daring naval aviators were forever flying in the face of continually changing and challenging conditions. A unique form of aviation that has been variously described as like having an orgasm and a bowel evacuation simultaneously, or as the greatest ride of your life!From the early years of mostly seaborne activity the Birdies have evolved through search and rescue, anti-submarine warfare, and peacekeeping and humanitarian missions to global policing, anti-terrorism and anti-piracy. Today's Birdies, as intrepid as ever, now operate squadrons of the most sophisticated helicopters in the world, often within multinational forces.Researcher and author Sharron Spargo has close ties both to the veterans from those formative years and to those who are serving today. She has gathered their intensely personal accounts of front line action in the Korean and Vietnam wars, the Indonesian confrontation, the Cold War and the Gulf War; stories of a unique service that for too long has gone unheard and unacknowledged.This fascinating book places these quiet achievers, the Birdies, in their rightful place in Australia's naval and aviation history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his long career in the Royal Australian Navy, Guy Griffiths participated in its emergence from Depression-era stricture, pre-World War II, to its reinvention in the 1950s and 60s as a capable middle-power force centred on aircraft carriers in the missile age. In this time, he personally experienced the RAN’s darkest days in the face of the Japanese onslaught and its fi nest hour in the Philippines Campaign of World War II, and its close involvements in the Korean War and then the Vietnam War. He witnessed the realities of war in positions of increasing responsibility. Guy Griffiths: The Life & Times of an Australian Admiral is the authorised biography of Rear Admiral Guy Griffiths AO, DSO, DSC, RAN. ‘From country boy to gold-braided admiral, Guy Griffiths has led a richly-textured life of service to the navy and the nation. As a teenage midshipman he survived the disastrous sinking of the battlecruiser HMS Repulse off Malaya in 1941 and went on to fight at sea with distinction in another two wars: Korea and Vietnam. It is an unmatched record of courage, dedication and achievement. This is the enthralling biography of a remarkable sailor and a genuinely great Australian.’—Mike Carlton AM, bestselling author of Flagship & First Victory

Book excerpt: Flying Stations II is a chronology of the last quarter-century of Australian Fleet Air Arm activities and events from 1998 until 2022. Published to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the FAA on 3 July 2022, it follows the original 1998 volume of Flying Stations which chronicled the first 50 years of the FAA.The period 1998-2022 saw much expansion and activity within the FAA, including the welcome return of large flight decks to the RAN in the form of the LHDs HMAS Canberra and Adelaide. A long-time FAA workhorse, the Sea King, was retired while new fleets of MRH-90 Taipans and MH-60R Seahawks were introduced. HMAS Albatross also welcomed ADF helicopter training operations with the Eurocopter EC-135T2+ which replaced the long-serving AS350B Squirrels. The FAA also saw its share of challenges during this time. The ill-fated Seasprite acquisition resulted in a litany of failures before the program was cancelled in 2008. The crash of Sea King Shark 02 in Indonesia in 2005 was a traumatic event that saw the loss nine lives. The subsequent inquiry identified serious shortcomings in FAA maintenance and operational practices which subsequently led to much needed organisational and cultural change.As a pointer to future directions, 822X Squadron was formed in 2018 as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle development unit. The story of Australian naval aviation is a proud and unique one. Flying Stations II captures the activities and ethos of the many hard-working men and women continuing the tradition of the FAA to the present day.
