History of Australian naval aviation The first involvement Australia had with naval aviation was in 1911, when an Australian-born Royal Navy officer became one of the first four naval officers to receive pilot qualifications. During World War I, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) experienced several forms of airborne operation, with HMAS "Brisbane" operating a seaplane, while HMA Ships "Sydney" and "Australia" were used for experiments with aircraft launch platforms. An aircraft embarked aboard "Sydney" was also involved in one of the first naval air battles. Several Australians also flew as part of the Royal Naval Air Service.
