This report presents the history of fatigue research at DSTO's Fishermans Bend Australia facility from the early days in the 1940s when Mr. H.A. Wills, Head of the then Structures Division, foresaw with remarkable insight the impending danger of fatigue in aircraft structures. He presented an historic paper at the Second International Aeronautical Conference in 1949 and instituted a comprehensive programme of research on the fatigue of materials and structures which was vindicated within the next decade as fatigue failures began to plague first civil and then military aircraft fleets world wide. DSTO is still a leading world authority on the fatigue of aircraft structures, as many of these research programmes have won international recognition and as fatigue investigations expeditiously undertaken for the RAAF (and at times Civil authorities) have supplied valuable information to the aircraft manufacturers, operators and researchers.
