Air Marshal Sir Richard Williams, KBE, CB, DSO (3 August 1890 – 7 February 1980), is widely regarded as the "father" of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He was the first military pilot trained in Australia, and went on to command Australian and British fighter units in World War I. A proponent for air power independent of other branches of the armed services, Williams played a leading role in the establishment of the RAAF and became its first Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) in 1922. He served as CAS for thirteen years over three terms, longer than any other officer.

  • Richard Williams (3 août 1890 au 7 février 1980) est largement considéré comme le « père » de la Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), l'armée de l'air australienne. Il a été le premier pilote militaire formé en Australie et a ensuite été affecté à la tête d'unités de combat australiennes et britanniques pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Partisan d'une force armée aérienne indépendante des autres branches des services armés, Williams a joué un rôle de premier plan dans la création de la RAAF et en est devenu son premier chef d'état-major en 1922. Il est resté à ce poste pendant treize ans et neuf mois, plus que tout autre officier australien. Williams est originaire d'un milieu ouvrier dans le sud de l'Australie. Il est lieutenant dans l'Armée de terre quand il apprend à voler à Point Cook, au Victoria, en 1914. En tant que pilote de l’Australian Flying Corps (AFC) pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, il devient commandant de la 1re escadrille de l'AFC, puis de la 40e escadrille de la RAF. Il est décoré de l'Ordre du Service distingué et termine la guerre au grade de lieutenant-colonel. Il fait ensuite campagne pour une armée de l'air indépendante de l'Armée de terre et de la marine, ce qui est fait le 31 mars 1921. La RAAF balbutiante affronte de nombreux défis pour conserver son existence dans les années 1920 et au début des années 1930, et beaucoup de crédit doit lui être attribué pour avoir maintenu son indépendance. Cependant un rapport défavorable sur les normes de sécurité en vol lui valent d'être renvoyé de son poste et d'être détaché auprès de la RAF avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Malgré divers soutiens pour sa réintégration en tant que commandant en chef de l'armée de l'air et sa promotion au grade d’Air Marshal en 1940, il ne sera jamais renommé à ce poste. Après la guerre, il est mis à la retraite avec un certain nombre d'autres officiers de la Première Guerre mondiale. Il devient directeur général de l'aviation civile australienne, et est anobli un an avant sa retraite en 1955. (fr)
  • Air Marshal Sir Richard Williams, KBE, CB, DSO (3 August 1890 – 7 February 1980), is widely regarded as the "father" of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He was the first military pilot trained in Australia, and went on to command Australian and British fighter units in World War I. A proponent for air power independent of other branches of the armed services, Williams played a leading role in the establishment of the RAAF and became its first Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) in 1922. He served as CAS for thirteen years over three terms, longer than any other officer. Williams came from a working-class background in South Australia. He was a lieutenant in the Army when he learned to fly at Point Cook, Victoria, in 1914. As a pilot with the Australian Flying Corps (AFC) in World War I, Williams rose to command No. 1 Squadron AFC, and later 40th Wing RAF. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and finished the war a lieutenant colonel. Afterwards he campaigned for an Australian Air Force run separately to the Army and Navy, which came into being on 31 March 1921. The fledgling RAAF faced several challenges to its continued existence in the 1920s and early 1930s, and Williams received much of the credit for maintaining its independence, but an adverse report on flying safety standards saw him dismissed from the position of CAS and seconded to the RAF prior to World War II. Despite some support for his reinstatement as Air Force chief, and promotion to air marshal in 1940, he never again led the RAAF. After the war he was forcibly retired along with other World War I veteran officers. He took up the position of Director-General of Civil Aviation in Australia, and was knighted the year before his retirement in 1955. (en)
  • Richard Williams, född den 3 augusti 1890 i , South Australia, död den 7 februari 1980 i Melbourne, Victoria, var en australisk flygvapenofficer som betraktas som skapare av Australiens flygvapen (RAAF). Williams var den förste som utbildades till militärpilot i Australien, och förde därefter befäl över australiska och brittiska stridsflygenheter under första världskriget. Som förespråkare av ett självständigt flygvapen, oberoende av andra försvarsgrenar, spelade Williams en betydelsefull roll i att RAAF skapades 1921 och han blev 1922 RAAF:s förste flygstabschef, Chief of the Air Staff (CAS). Han tjänstgjorde som CAS i tretton år under perioden 1922-1939 (med uppehåll 1922-1925 och 1932-1934), vilket är längre än någon annan som har innehaft den posten. (sv)
  • Sir Richard Williams KBE, CB, DSO (Melbourne, 3 de agosto de 1890 — Melbourne, 7 de fevereiro de 1980) é considerado o "pai" da Força aérea real australiana (RAAF). Williams foi o primeiro piloto militar treinado na Austrália e participou do comando as unidades de combate britânicas e australianas na primeira guerra mundial. Foi o principal proponente da força aérea independente dos outros ramos das forças armadas, Williams teve um papel importante na criação da RAAF e tornou-se seu primeiro estado-maior da aeronáutica (CAS, na sigla em inglês) no ano de 1922. Ele serviu o CAS por treze anos em três mandatos, mais tempo do que qualquer outro oficial. Williams aprendeu a voar em Point Cook, Victoria, em 1914 enquanto servia o Exército. Foi piloto do Australian Flying Corps (AFC) na primeira guerra mundial e ascendeu ao comando do esquadrão nº 1 AFC e posteriormente do esquadrão nº 40. Recebeu a Ordem de Serviços Distintos e terminou a guerra com a patente de tenente-coronel. Subseqüentemente Williams defendeu a administração da Força Aérea separada do exército e da marinha, proposta que entrou em vigor em 1921. A recém-criada RAAF enfrentou inúmeros desafios e continuou existindo nas décadas de 1920 e de 1930, sendo que Williams recebeu grande parte dos créditos pela manutenção de sua independência. Entretanto, um relatório sobre os padrões de segurança de voo causou a sua demissão do posto de estado-maior. Williams nunca mais retornou ao comando da RAAF, apesar todo apoio que recebeu e de sua promoção a marechal-do-ar em 1940. No pós-guerra ele foi forçado a se aposentar, juntos com outros oficiais veteranos da . Ele então ocupou o posto de diretor-geral da aviação civil australiana, servindo até a sua aposentadoria em 1955. (pt)
