He was promoted acting air vice marshal in 1952 (substantive in 1954), and appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1956. Popularly known as "Wally", he was twice a candidate for Chief of the Air Staff, and twice passed over.

  • Allan Leslie Walters, né le 2 novembre 1905 dans l’État de Victoria, et mort le 19 octobre 1968, était un haut commandant de la Force aérienne royale australienne (RAAF). Élevé en Australie-Occidentale, il est diplômé du Collège militaire royal de Duntroon avant d'être muté au RAAF en 1928. Il est considéré par ses collègues comme l'un des premiers instructeurs de vol australiens et l'un des meilleurs pilotes de voltige aérienne du début des années 1930. Il est affecté à son premier commandement d'escadron en 1937. Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Walters dirigeait la No. 1 Squadron RAAF à Singapour, l'escadre No 1 à Darwin, l'escadre No 72 en Nouvelle-Guinée néerlandaise et au Northern Command en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Il est décoré de l'Air Force Cross en 1941 pour ses exploits avec le 1er Escadron, et est mentionné dans les dépêches en 1944 pour son service avec la 72e escadre. Walters est nommé commandant de l'Ordre de l'Empire britannique en 1946 pour service rendu avec la Northern Command. Ayant alors déjà occupé des postes majeurs au sein de le RAAF d'après-guerre, il est au cours des années 1950 nommé au poste de Air Officier Commanding (AOC) de la RAAF Overseas Headquarters à Londres, chef du personnel des services conjoints australiens à Washington, AOC Home Command, Air Command for Personnel puis AOC Support Command. Promu Air vice-marshal en 1952, il est ensuite nommé Compagnon de l'ordre du Bain en 1956. Surnommé « Wally » par ses proches, il est deux fois candidat au poste de chef de l'État-major de l'Air, essuyant cependant deux échecs. Il se retire de la RAAF en 1962 et s'installe à Melbourne, où il meurt en 1968 à l'âge de soixante-deux ans. (fr)
