The Cornerstones of the Royal Australian Air Force
Heritage, Tradition, and The Future
Air Marshal Richard Williams is widely considered to be the father of Royal Australian Air Force. Having started training as a pilot in 1914, Williams was positioned as a flight commander to No. 1 Squadron, AFC only two years later. The team’s first assignments were in support of ground forces advancing into Palestine. He took command of the squadron in 1917 after receiving the Distinguished Service Order for rescuing a fellow pilot who was shot down in enemy territory.
During World War II, Williams served as the Royal Australian Air Force representative in Washington. After the war ended, he was appointed Director General of Civil Aviation in Australia and worked diligently until his retirement.
In his career, Williams served an integral role in forming the culture, mission, and precedent for all service members of the Royal Australian Air Force. Many cornerstones and traditions call back to the time in which the Air Force was first being formed and Williams served as one of the first officers, molding the future of the service.
Traditions and practices like the Dawn Service, Remembrance Day, and the Last Post are respected ceremonies that also play a significant role in molding the culture of the Royal Australian Air Force. The long history and incredible heritage of the service are all apart of the incredible future plans of creating a 5th generation Air Force for Australia.
The Air Force Strategy 2017-2027 has outlined 5 distinct areas of improvement that will build the Royal Australian Air Force into an even more capable power in the skies of the world.
- Joint Warfighting Capability
- People Capability
- Communication and Information Systems
- Infrastructure
- International Engagement
The Royal Australian Air Force will focus on building new and improved technologies, programs, and vehicles, while keeping the people who make up the service as the utmost priority. Without the brave and innovative service men and women that dedicate themselves to the protection of the nation, the Royal Australian Air Force would be nothing.
Royal Australian Air Force challenge coins honor the past and set the example for the future. They personify the values of respect, excellence, agility, dedication, integrity, and teamwork.
