Do you take notice in NZ’s defence? Probably not. Very few do.
Unless you're the one fighting why should you care about the defence
force. But there are certain people who do care.
The government, patriots, and me, a 14-year-old high school student
who just wants to see some cool planes. I think that for too long,
New Zealand has sat on the sidelines, building a reputation as a
dependent nation relying on larger ones to defend them.
But I believe it is time for New Zealand to take a stand and develop
itself into a military that can be a leader on the front lines.
Starting with the air force. For the duration of this,
I will go through the pros and cons of having a larger air force…
Back in the 1940s, during World War 2, the Royal New Zealand Air
Force purchased and flew hundreds of fighters on the front lines against
the Luftwaffe, and they fought very well. Using the British built
Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes, the RNZAF officers flew
with the RAF, RCAF, RAAF, and in the pacific, the USAAF
(Now the USAF), with many pilots complementing their capabilities and
how well they adapt to their flying style. After the war, New Zealand
started creating its own air force rather than borrow planes off of other Air Forces and
Force purchased and flew hundreds of fighters on the front lines against
the Luftwaffe, and they fought very well. Using the British built
Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes, the RNZAF officers flew
with the RAF, RCAF, RAAF, and in the pacific, the USAAF
(Now the USAF), with many pilots complementing their capabilities and
how well they adapt to their flying style. After the war, New Zealand
started creating its own air force rather than borrow planes off of other Air Forces and
flying them as well as their own planes.
Thanks for sharing your work, Logan.
ReplyDeleteYour introduction is fantastic and really sets up the issue you are going to be writing about.
Your 1st body paragraph is going into specific details. You should add a bit here answering "So what?" Why have you mentioned this and why is it important. What do you want the reader to do with this information?
Of course the next steps would be seeing the rest of your 'pros and cons'
