Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF)  
New Zealand's military aviation began in 1913 when the New Zealand Army was presented with two Blériot monoplanes by the United Kingdom. These machines were grounded after a young woman was given a joyride; on the outbreak of hostilities, the Bleriots were sent to support British forces in Mesopotamia. 
In the Great War, New Zealand aircrew flew as part of the British Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. New Zealand pilots serving with British forces saw service in all theatres. Fifteen became aces, the top scorer being Keith Caldwell with, depending on how counted, more than 24 victories.... 

AESL  
Aero Engine Services Ltd. was established in 1954 and until 1966 did engine repair and overhaul. Early 1967 acquired rights for Victa Airtourer, thenceforth produced as AESL Airtourer. Also made AESL Airtrainer

AIR PARTS (NZ) LTD.   
In 1957 acquired Australasian sales rights for Fletcher FU- 24, and in 1964 acquired manufacturing rights. FU-24 had been designed initially for top-dressing work in New Zealand, to which country initial series of 100 was delivered. Several variants developed, including two turboprop versions. On April 1,1973 the company was amalgamated with Aero Engine Services Ltd. (see AESL) to form New Zealand Aerospace Industries Ltd. 

BENNETT AVIATION LTD. 
This company built and developed a single-engine agricultural monoplane, designated Bennett P.L.11 Airtruck, designed by Luigi Pellarini. Somewhat similar to the P.L.7 agricultural aircraft, designed by Pellarini for the Kingsford Smith Company in Australia, it flew for the first time on August 2,1960.

DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT OF NEW ZEALAND LTD. 
Formed 1939 at Rongotai, Wellington. Produced a small number of Tiger Moths from 1940. After the war reverted to overhaul and servicing, and assembled Devons, Fox Moths, and Chipmunks. 

FLIGHT ENGINEERS LTD. 
Joint company formed by agricultural operator Barr Brothers and Marine Helicopters Ltd. to maintain own fleets, but also undertook license-assembly of Transavia PL-12 Airtruk agricultural aircraft from 1973. T320 version powered by Continental Tiara engine introduced 1977. Production ended 1980.

NEW ZEALAND AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD. 
Aero Engine Services Ltd. and Air Parts (NZ) Ltd. amalgamated in 1973 to form New Zealand Aerospace Industries. Production of the Fletcher FU-24 agricultural aircraft and the AESL Airtrainer CT4 was integrated, and examples were delivered to Australia, Bangladesh, Iraq, Pakistan, Thailand, and Uruguay. The Airtrainer CT4 was delivered to the air forces of Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand, but went out of production. Company assets were purchased by Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd. (q.v.).

Many nations gave birth to aviation and the pioneers who propelled its stunning successes. To recognize these contributions, we asked the International Council of Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS) to have each ICAS country identify its pioneers and present the story of its national achievements in aerospace. 
The notable figures profiled here are but a few examples of those who could be considered. If you feel your country or its pioneers are not sufficiently represented and you have the history to share, please contact Sharon Grace.
