[share_ebook] The Brotherhood of Airman
The origins of miliary aviation in Australia may be traced to flights
made by a Royal Engineer balloon section at the Sydney
Agricultural Showground on 7–8 January 1901. However, it was not
until 8 September 1909 that the Federal Government announced that
it would offer the prize of £5000 for the construction of a military
aircraft in Australia. The winner, designed by John R. Duigan, flew at
Spring Plains, Mia Mia, Victoria on 16 July 1910.
