As good as new
The most comprehensive book on South Africa's air power. There are more than 875 photographs, most of them never published before, to make you a privileged spectator of the spine-chilling adventures of a special breed of daredevil also known as a SAAF pilot and his crew. The book gives you a fascinating account of the SAAF through the second world war, Korea and, closer to home, the operational area along the southern fronteir of Angola. The story attached to each photograph has been thoroughly researched to vouch for its authenticity. In most cases you will find the names - and the words - of those actually involved in the action described. There are action shots of raids into enemy territory, photographs of a number of legendary pilots, with anecdotal notes on their exploits. You will read of innovations introduced by the SAAF born out of hard experience. In addition, you will find formal full-colour illustrations of many of the old stalwart aircraft flown by our fathers and grandfathers during the Second Word War; also of the modern aircraft flown by our husbands, sons and friends in the operational area and elsewhere today. Together with these illustrations we have included detailed information for aircraft enthusiasts, restorers and modellers.
Those who were there will see friends from long ago, recognise names and faces. You mights even discover where your old comrades-in-arms are today, and be able to make contact again.
