An Australian can join the RAF and still keep his Australian citizenship, but to join the USAF you would have to change your nationality. A number of "Fleet Air Arm" Australians joined the RAAF while others transferred to the British Navy to fly on their aircraft carriers following the de-commissioning of the HMAS Sydney and the HMAS Melbourne in the mid-1970's.

Raaf Williams

$76.47

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles RAAF Williams comprises the two bases of Point Cook and Laverton. Both establishments previously existed as separate RAAF Bases until 1999 when they were amalgamated to form RAAF Williams. The name was chosen in honour of Air Marshal Sir Richard Williams, the father of the Royal Australian Air Force.Point Cook was purchased by the government in 1912 with the vision to form what would become the Australian Flying Corps. Due to the success of the AFC in the First World War, the AFC became a separate service, the Royal Australian Air Force. Point Cook remained the RAAFs only base until 1925 when RAAF Base Richmond and RAAF Base Laverton were also built. Point Cook is considered the birthplace and the spiritual home of the RAAF. It is also the airport at which the Royal Victorian Aero Club was established. It contains a memorial parade ground which was built in the 1920s, a site which was previously used by the AFC for drill training. Point Cook still has an operating airfield, but military operations are generally restricted to the Museum based there. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Ranks of the Raaf

$78.07

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Royal Australian Air Force inherited its rank structure from the Royal Air Force. The RAF based its officer ranks on the Royal Navy, and its airmen ranks on the British Army. Unlike the RAF, RAAF rank abbreviations are always written in uppercase without spaces (eg. PLTOFF, not Plt Off). Also, the RAAF does not have the ranks of Senior Aircraftman, Junior Technician, Chief Technician or Master Aircrew. Rank Insignia is very similar to that of the RAF, with the exception of LAC/W (which is one chevron (two bladed propellor in RAF)). Both officers and airmen wear rank on the shoulder, however it is worn on the sleeve of the ceremonial jacket (lower sleeve for officers, upper sleeve for airmen). The word Australia appears immediately below all rank insignia worn on the shoulder. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

F104 Starfighter Pilots Flight Operating Instructions

$31.68

Created by famed Lockheed designer Kelly Johnson, the F104 Starfighter was designed to compete with Soviet Mig15s. Equipped with a huge and powerful J79 engine, the aircraft could reach speeds well in excess of Mach 2.0, while its thin, trapezoidal wing provided extremely low drag with terrific acceleration and rate of climb. Unforgiving and sensitive to control inputs, the F104 killed many pilots and developed a reputation as a widowmaker. Despite its shortcomings, the Starfighter enjoyed a long career. It flew in the air support role during Rolling Thunder in the Vietnam War. It also saw extensive service in foreign air forces and NATO. NASA continued to use the F104 as a support aircraft until 1995. This pilots flight operating handbook was originally produced by the USAF. It has been slightly reformatted but is reproduced here in its entirety. It provides a fascinating view inside the cockpit of one of historys great planes.
