Clare Stevenson - Biography
Clare Grant Stevenson, AM, MBE (18 July 1903 – 22 October 1988) was the inaugural Director of the Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF). As such, she has been described as "the most significant woman in the history of the Air Force". Formed as a branch of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in 1941, the WAAAF was the first and largest uniformed women's service in Australia during World War II, numbering more than 18,000 members by late 1944 and making up over thirty per cent of RAAF ground staff.
