More DescriptionFor over a century, South Australians have served our nation's Air Force creating a remarkable legacy of service. Produced for the Royal Australian Air Force Centenary in 2021, this publication profiles thirty such South Australians. Some are decorated pilots. A few rose to the highest echelons of Air Force leadership, while others served as ground crew, as aviation medicine specialists or as intelligence officers. Some returned to South Australia serving the community in fields such as sport, indigenous reconciliation and the arts. Tragically, many did not return after paying the ultimate sacrifice for their nation. The aim of this booklet is to inspire our community to learn more about the broad and enduring legacy of South Australians in the Air Force.
