WARNING: This story contains an image of a First Nations person who has passed. Leonard ‘Len’ Waters – Australia’s first Indigenous fighter pilot. A Kamilaroi (Gamilaraay) man, Waters was raised in the outback Queensland town of Nindigully. He was a bright student, fascinated by flight from childhood. Waters spent hours reading flying magazines. He enjoyed making model planes and observing how things flew. When Japan entered the Second World War, threatening Australia, the Australian Imperial Force and Royal Australian Air Force desperately needed more recruits so they relaxed their restrictive enlistment standards, which had limited entry to white Australians and Europeans. Waters volunteered, studied hard and completed intensive training. In July 1944, he received his RAAF pilot’s wings and was promoted to sergeant. Waters was posted to No 78 Squadron in November 1944. He was stationed at Noemfoor and Morotai in the Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia) and later at Borneo. Waters flew 95 missions in his Kittyhawk, Black Magic and logged 103 flying hours.To read more about his story: cove.army.gov.au/article/australian-aviator-leonard-watersImage: Australian War Memorial 📷 Leonard ‘Len’ Waters, in full winter flying kit.
