Introduction to the Australian Air Campaign Series

The Australian Air Campaign Series produced by History and Heritage – Air Force focuses on four themed sub-series:

  • campaigns, operations and battles
  • capability and technology
  • bases and airfields
  • people.

These themed titles explore specific facets of the Air Force from its inception in 1921. What they reveal are unique insights, providing the reader with a greater appreciation and deeper understanding of those aspects that have shaped the Air Force’s history and heritage.

Importantly, these publications are sourced from official records and research, often including first-hand accounts. While endorsed for studies in military history, the range of topics in these publications provides an ideal conduit for the broadest of audiences to pursue and learn more about the many aspects that have contributed to the development of Australia’s Air Force.

Apart from being a significant point of reference, these publications ultimately acknowledge bravery, ingenuity and resilience – in essence, the service and sacrifice which is the hallmark of those who have served and continue to serve in the Air Force.
