The Air Force Mothers


Around 1940, six mothers of sons who had enlisted as pilots in the Royal Australian Air Force got together in Sydney for regular meetings, and called themselves the Air Force Mothers. As well as Erica, the other five mothers were Lucy Iris Beveridge, Margaret Adrienne Marre, Annie Kelly Lee, Janet Loton and Grace Davenport. Of the six mothers, five lost their sons during the War, only the two Davenport sons survived.
