		The Central Flying School (CFS) is the longest serving flying school in the world and was founded in Upavon.
		The standard of flying improved still more after the introduction of the Gosport tube which enabled the instructor to talk with his pupil, a capability which had previously been restricted to the few moments of quiet before and during a stall.
		The school was also responsible for coordinating and revising many untidy theories concerning the art of flying and from its AP1732 the modern instructors' bible, the AP3225 Instructors Handbook was evolved.

		Ab Initio training was on Bristol Boxkites, engine starting and taxiing on a Deperdussin and advanced flying on the BE2a or equivalent types.Soon after war was declared a BE2a and a Farman seaplane were crated and sent on HMAS Una to assist in the second phase of the seizure of German New Guinea possessions.

	RAAF History starting with the Australian Flying Corps
		Military aviation first took wing in Australia when Central Flying School was formed at Point Cook in 1912, only nine years after Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first successful controlled, powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
		One year later, the Australian Flying Corps was fighting in Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq); and by the end of World War 1, four Australian squadrons were in action on the Western Front in France.
		While officially the Australian Flying Corps' main role was army co-operation, its squadrons inevitably became involved in air to air combat and bombing attacks, as the full potential of the air weapon became apparent.
