British Imperial Air Power examines the air defense of Australia
and New Zealand during the interwar period. It also demonstrates
the difficulty of applying new military aviation technology to the
defense of the global Empire and provides insight into the nature
of the political relationship between the Pacific Dominions and
Britain. Following World War I, both Dominions sought greater
independence in defense and foreign policy. Public aversion to
military matters and the economic dislocation resulting from the
war and later the Depression left little money that could be
provided for their respective air forces. As a result, the Empire's
air services spent the entire interwar period attempting to create
a strategy in the face of these handicaps. In order to survive, the
British Empire's military air forces offered themselves as a
practical and economical third option in the defense of Britain's
global Empire, intending to replace the Royal Navy and British Army
as the traditional pillars of imperial defense.
