REVIEW:
This easy to read, no-nonsense book by Capt. Herman Bosman contains fascinating accounts and visual material. The author obviously has a passion for aviation in general and the SAPS Air Wing in particular!
Factual information about projects as diverse as Skeleton Coast patrols and the Arctic Penguins gives the reader a birds eye view of police operations. Most of the photographs come from the personal collections of pilots and crew and have never been published previously.
It is not commonly known that air support by the SAAF for the South African Police started as early as 1921/22 with the miners riots on the Witwatersrand. Then there was the unrest in South West Africa, followed by air support in Natal and other parts of the country.
