It is our intention to build up this section of our website to recognise all those Army aviators who, since the rebirth of modern Army aviation after World War II, have over time been recognised in national or international Honours and Awards. This will be a major effort as there have been quite a few and with every passing Australia Day and Queens Birthday the list keeps growing. This will take time and we will be seeking the co-operation of those who have received honours and awards to assist us to compile the pages.
