History

Fighters ready to confront threat

Twenty-two years after it was bombed by the Japanese, Darwin was thought to be under threat again - this time from the Indonesians - which led to Operation Handover, a largely unknown footnote to the Indonesian Confrontation between 1962-66, as David Wilson recounts.

This bomber is a survivor

Just over a year ago, the first of two Canberra Bombers that had been languishing at the end of the runway at RAAF Base Amberley for years was rescued by a restoration team.

Last WWI fighter pilot dies

The man believed to be the last fighter pilot from World War I has died in Toronto, Canada, aged 106. As a 20-year-old bank clerk, Henry Botterell joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1916.
