‘If we do not win the battle of training, we shall win no other battle in the air.’ In 1943 the Royal Air Force recognised that training a vast amount of aircrew for a high attrition war was essential to an Allied victory, and that the key to winning the ‘battle of training’ was the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS). 37,576 Australian aircrew graduated from the EATS. Over 300 were killed whilst training for war and 9874 aircrew were killed or listed as missing while on active duty. Those who fought under this scheme during World War II amounted to just 6.7 per cent of Australian service personnel serving overseas yet the aircrew losses amounted to almost 25 per cent of all the Australian fatalities during the war. This made serving in EATS among the most hazardous duties of the war. The Empire has an Answer was researched using more than 35 000 articles, from 150 metropolitan, regional, and district newspapers, and what materialised was a story of one of, if not, the greatest training programs the world has seen. Follow the journey from the conception and implementation of the scheme, through recruitment and basic training, flight training, and then into combat. The individual accounts woven into the narrative provide a first-hand experience of the triumphs and trials of typical airmen and airwomen who performed extraordinary feats in a time of great need. The significant achievements and success of the Empire Air Training Scheme has for the most part been overlooked in our history, until now.

This is the second volume in The Australian Centenary History of Defence series. Histories of air forces often focus on aeroplanes at the expense of people. Yet while aircraft represent a unique, even exciting, form of combat power, they are simply an extension of human ingenuity, skill, courage, and resilience. It is not machines that make history and cause organisations to prosper: it is people. In the course of its eighty-year history the Royal Australian Air Force has developed an enviable reputation. This volume tells that story through the experiences of the airmen and airwomen who have served Australia around the world and over the years, from Mesopotamia in 1915 to East Timor in 2000.

In this book we follow the brave deeds of our 7 Wing air cadets who died in service, and although saddened by their loss, we take pride in their achievement. Writing this book has been a journey of privilege and discovery. Finding the names of the 48 cadets who died in service ensured they would not be forgotten, but what of their lives? For the sake of commemoration, heritage, and their sacrifice, there was a compelling need to put faces to the names and stories to the names. Thus began an intensive and sometimes forensic search that has reaped great rewards. The stories that unfolded from seventy year old files never ceased to amaze. Of the 48 Honour Roll cadets, 32 died in WWII, 3 in the Korean War, 6 in the Vietnam War, and 7 post-1945. Many of these cadets never reached their 21st birthday, but their experiences were extraordinary, although ultimately tragic. One of the most tragic cases is that of Beaufighter pilot Billy McGuigan who belonged to ATC 76 Squadron Fremantle, was shot down in the Celebes Islands, taken POW, and then killed just before the end of the war. In WWII, Lancaster air gunner Edward Charman was killed in 1944 on 11 November ¿ Remembrance Day. In another coincidence, ATC 79 Squadron cadet Ronald Sharpe joined the Royal Australian Navy and was crew on HMAS Australia when it was attacked by a Japanese dive bomber. Ronald was seriously wounded and died the next day on 21 October 1944 ¿ Trafalgar Day. Then in the Korean War, 77 Squadron Meteor pilot John Halley was shot down while ground strafing. It was his 77th sortie. In Vietnam, 7 Wing lost six cadets, five of whom were in the Australian Army and one in the Navy. Corporal Peter Clements from 12 Flight Christian Brothers College (CBC) was commander of an armoured personnel carrier at the iconic Battle of Long Tan, and received mortal injuries. Also from CBC, Ray Hunt was a crewman on HMAS Hobart, and was killed by friendly fire in June 1968.
