A propos de cet article

Book condition is very good. Spine intact Book clock clean. Front and back cover of dust jacket clean. Book board clean. Air Marshal Sir Valston Eldridge Hancock (1907 1998) was a distinguished figure in Australian military history, particularly within the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Here's a comprehensive overview of his life and legacy: Military Career Highlights: Early Life & Education: Born in Perth, Western Australia, Hancock was educated at Hale School and later entered the Royal Military College, Duntroon, in 1925. He graduated in 1928 with the Sword of Honour. RAAF Service: Transferred to the RAAF in 1929 and qualified as a pilot in 1930. Despite initially lacking interest in aviation, he became an enthusiastic flyer. World War II: Held key planning and administrative roles early in the war, later commanded No. 100 Squadron and No. 71 Wing during the Aitape Wewak campaign, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. Post-War Roles: Inaugural commandant of RAAF College. Deputy Chief of the Air Staff (1951 1953). Air Member for Personnel (1953 1955). Air Officer Commanding No. 224 Group RAF in Malaya (1957 1959). Chief of the Air Staff (1961 1965), promoted to Air Marshal and knighted in 1962. Strategic Contributions: Oversaw redevelopment of RAAF Base Learmonth in WA as part of a forward defence strategy. Evaluated aircraft replacements, notably the American TFX (later F-111), though he advised caution due to its developmental stage. Author & Legacy: Hancock authored Challenge, a monograph published in 1990, reflecting on his career and military philosophy. After retiring, he co-founded the Australia Defence Association. He is commemorated by Sir Valston Hancock Drive in Evans Head, NSW, and the Sir Valston Hancock House in South Perth, a veteran support initiative launched in 2024. Extra charges for over-sea shipping due the weight exceed 500grams. Actual weight is 0.627kg. See photos. …
