Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library copy with all external stickers removed. Partial date due slip and stamp on inside page, otherwise interior is excellent. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at top edge and at spine.

This book aims to examine the development of the air force and the relationship between air power and sea power in Australian defence in terms of the Imperial defence relationship as it existed between the formulation of the 1923 Imperial Conference defence resolutions and the outbreak of war with Germany in September 1939.

The strategic principles embodied in the "Fleet to Singapore" concept governed interwar defence planning. It follows that the attitude of the government and the Australian armed services towards the Singapore strategy will be given an extended analysis.

The nature of the Imperial defence connection in the interwar years will be examined to show how the partnership between Australia and the United Kingdom operated. It is hoped to demonstrate some of the solutions offered by Australian and United Kingdom defence planners to specific problems and to reach some conclusions regarding the value of the Imperial connection to Australian defence generally.
