| Description : |
The Australian Flying Corps (AFC) commenced training pilots in 1914 from its base at Point Cook. The first four students all graduated but as there was no role for them in the embryonic air service they were returned to their original army units. The AFC was organised as a corps of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF), its four-line squadrons usually served separately under the orders of Britain's Royal Flying Corps. The first small operation it undertook was joining an Australian expeditionary force in seizing German New Guinea in late 1914. The AFC was a pioneering corps that helped to lay the groundwork for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). |
