Australia's First Campaign - Bok av Robert Stevenson - Häftad

Armageddon and OKRA - Bok av Lewis Frederickson - Häftad

The dispatch of an Ottoman Army by Australian-led Imperial air power in the Wadi Fara on 21 September 1918 occurred just five years after the advent of military aviation in Australia. In 1914, the fledgling Australian air service operated the flimsy Bristol Boxkite; four years later it was flying the far more advanced Bristol F2B Fighter.
