Air Marshal Sir George Jones, KBE, CB, DFC (18 October 1896 – 24 August 1992) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He rose from private soldier in World War I to air marshal in 1948, and served as Chief of the Air Staff from 1942 to 1952, the longest continuous tenure of any RAAF chief. Jones was a surprise appointee to the Air Force's top role, and his achievements in the position were coloured by a divisive relationship during World War II with his nominal subordinate, the head of RAAF Command, Air Vice-Marshal William Bostock.

  • Air Marshal Sir George Jones, KBE, CB, DFC (18 October 1896 – 24 August 1992) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He rose from private soldier in World War I to air marshal in 1948, and served as Chief of the Air Staff from 1942 to 1952, the longest continuous tenure of any RAAF chief. Jones was a surprise appointee to the Air Force's top role, and his achievements in the position were coloured by a divisive relationship during World War II with his nominal subordinate, the head of RAAF Command, Air Vice-Marshal William Bostock. During World War I, Jones saw action as an infantryman in the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915, transferring to the Australian Flying Corps a year later. Originally a mechanic, he undertook flying training in 1917 and was posted to a fighter squadron in France. He achieved seven victories to become an ace, and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. After a short spell in civilian life following World War I, he joined the newly formed RAAF in 1921, and rose steadily through training and personnel commands prior to World War II. Jones did not actively seek the position of Chief of the Air Staff before being appointed in 1942, and his conflict with Bostock—with whom he had been friends for 20 years—was partly the result of a divided command structure, which neither man had any direct role in shaping. After World War II, Jones had overall responsibility for transforming what was then the world's fourth largest air force into a peacetime service that was also able to meet overseas commitments in Malaya and Korea. Following his retirement from the RAAF, he continued to serve in the aircraft industry and later ran unsuccessfully for political office. He was knighted in 1953. (en)

  • Sir George Jones, KBE, CB, DFC (18 de outubro de 1896 – 24 de agosto de 1992) foi um comandante sênior da Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Ele levantou-se do privado soldado na primeira Guerra Mundial I do air marshal, em 1948, e serviu como Chefe de Pessoal Aérea a partir de 1942 a 1952, o maior contínuo de posse de qualquer RAAF chefe. Jones foi uma surpresa nomeado para a Força Aérea de topo do papel, e suas conquistas na posição que foram coloridas por uma divisivo relacionamento durante a II Guerra Mundial com a sua nominal, o subordinado, o chefe da RAAF de Comando, Ar Vice-Marechal William Bostock. Durante a I Guerra Mundial, Jones viu a ação como um fuzileiro na Campanha de Gallipoli de 1915, antes de se transferir para o Flying Corps australiano, um ano mais tarde. Originalmente um mecânico, ele comprometeu-se na formação em voo, em 1917, e foi mandado para um esquadrão de caças em França. Ele alcançou sete vitórias para se tornar um ás, e foi condecorado com a Distinguished Flying Cross. Depois de um curto período na vida civil, depois da primeira Guerra Mundial eu, ele ingressou na recém-formada RAAF, em 1921, e aumentaram o pessoal de forma constante, através de treinamento e de comandos de militares comandos antes da primeira Guerra Mundial II. Jones não procuram ativamente o cargo de Chefe de Pessoal Aérea de sua equipe antes de ser nomeado, em 1942, e seu conflito com Bostock—com quem ele tinha sido amigos há 20 anos—foi, em parte, o resultado de uma estrutura de comando dividida, que nem o homem tinha qualquer papel direto na formação. Depois da segunda Guerra Mundial II, Jones tinha a responsabilidade global para transformar o que era, então, a quarta maior da força aérea em um tempo de paz o serviço que também foi capaz de atender a compromissos no exterior na Malásia e Coreia. Depois da sua reforma da RAAF, ele continuou a servir na indústria aeronáutica e, mais tarde, concorreu sem sucesso para o escritório político. Ele foi nomeado cavaleiro em 1953. (pt)
