  • Air Marshal Sir James Anthony (Jim) Rowland, AC, KBE, DFC, AFC (1 November 1922 – 27 May 1999) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), serving as Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) from 1975 to 1979. He held office as Governor of New South Wales from 1981 to 1989, and was Chancellor of the University of Sydney from 1990 to 1991. Born in rural New South Wales, Rowland cut short his aeronautical engineering studies at the University of Sydney to join the RAAF in 1942. He was posted to Britain and served as a bomber pilot with the Pathfinders in the air war over Europe, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1944. The following year he was forced to bail out over Germany following a collision with another Allied aircraft, and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner. After repatriation and demobilisation, Rowland gained his engineering degree and rejoined the RAAF. He became a test pilot, serving with and later commanding the Aircraft Research and Development Unit in the 1950s, and also a senior engineering officer, being closely involved in preparations for delivery to Australia of the Dassault Mirage III supersonic fighter in the 1960s. In 1972 he was promoted to air vice marshal and became Air Member for Technical Services, holding this post until his elevation to air marshal and appointment as CAS in March 1975. He was the first engineering officer to lead the RAAF, and the first man to personally command it in a legal sense, following abolition of the Australian Air Board in 1976. Knighted in 1977, Rowland retired from the Air Force in 1979 and became Governor of New South Wales in January 1981. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in 1987. Retiring from the Governorship in 1989, he held a place on several boards as well as the Chancellorship of the University of Sydney. (en)

  • Sir James Anthony (Jim) Rowland (1 de novembro de 1922 – 27 de maio de 1999) foi um militar e marechal do ar da Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF), servindo como Chefe do Estado-Maior (CAS) da Força Aérea de 1975 a 1979. Ele ocupou o cargo de governador de Nova Gales do Sul de 1981 a 1989 e foi chanceler da Universidade de Sydney de 1990 a 1991. Nascido na zona rural de Nova Gales do Sul, Rowland interrompeu os seus estudos de engenharia aeronáutica na Universidade de Sydney para ingressar na RAAF em 1942. Ele foi enviado para a Grã-Bretanha e serviu como piloto de bombardeiros com os Pathfinders na guerra aérea sobre a Europa, sendo condecorado com a Cruz de Voo Distinto em 1944. No ano seguinte, ele foi forçado a saltar da sua aeronave sob a Alemanha após uma colisão com outra aeronave aliada, e passou o resto da guerra como prisioneiro. Após a repatriação e desmobilização, Rowland obteve o seu diploma de engenharia e voltou para a RAAF. Ele tornou-se num piloto de testes, servindo e mais tarde comandando a Unidade de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento de Aeronaves na década de 1950, sendo também um oficial sénior de engenharia, estando intimamente envolvido nos preparativos para a entrega à Austrália do caça supersónico Dassault Mirage III na década de 1960. Em 1972 ele foi promovido a vice-marechal do ar e tornou-se Membro do Ar para Serviços Técnicos, mantendo este cargo até à sua elevação a marechal do ar e nomeação como CAS em março de 1975. Ele foi o primeiro oficial de engenharia a liderar a RAAF e o primeiro homem a comandá-la pessoalmente num sentido legal, após a abolição do Australian Air Board em 1976. Cavaleiro em 1977, Rowland aposentou-se da força aérea em 1979 e tornou-se governador de Nova Gales do Sul em janeiro de 1981. Mais tarde, foi nomeado Companheiro da Ordem da Austrália, em 1987. Aposentando-se do cargo de governador em 1989, ele ocupou um lugar em vários conselhos, bem como a Chancelaria da Universidade de Sydney. (pt)
