Vlamgat deserves a place in the long history of this, the second oldest air force in the world.' - Lt.-Gen. Willem Hechter, Chief of the South African Air Force.

This book is the story of the MIRAGE F1 aircraft and the men and women who flew and supported it during its 22 years of service to the nation. It is a proud history that the author, having flown in war and peace, relates with accuracy and authority.

Vlamgat is the gripping story of the South African jet fighter pilots in action during the tense years of the bush war. Their experiences are authentically told with accuracy, humour and pathos - by an author who writes from the cockpit.
