Zusammenfassung:This Technical Memorandum forms the basis for the 9th Plantema Memorial Lecture to be presented by the author at the biennial meeting of the International Committee on Aeronautical Fatigue (ICAF) at Toulouse, France in May 1983. It traces the history of aircraft structural fatigue until the establishment of the Aeronautical Research Laboratories in 1939, and then deals more specifically with Australian contributions in research and development from then until the present time. These reflect both the lead-the-fleet situation for civil aircraft within Australia and the desire to operate some military aircraft for lives well in excess of their original design lives.
