You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #1  | I only just discovered the site's documenets too. I haven't had time to read the one that you posted, Spidge - it looks good. I did read their article on the Inter-war period because it contains an excellent description of the creation of the RAF, training at Cranwell, and operations around the Empire: http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafcms/mediafi...8C2DA98948.pdf
