MORE THAN A GAME: A SALUTE TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN AIR FORCE. "This book was published to coincide with the South African Air Forces' 75th anniversary. It traces the SAAF's development from the canvas-covered barnstormers of the 1920's to the computer-chip wonder-fighters of the 1990's. Through superb photography and an authoritative text, this book describes a trim, re-focussed SAAF in 1995. It also examines the post-Second World War expansion and subsequent shrinking of the SAAF's fleet, the establishment and closure of bases and the role of its squadrons. In addition, this book marks the high points in the parallel emergence of South Africa's defence aerospace industry and showcases the SAAF Museum's fine efforts in preserving large sections of the nation's under-rated aviation heritage. For the first time SAAF pilots publicly and frankly describe what it is like to fly various aircraft types. Their anecdotes augment many uncensored photographs, providing previously denied insights into what were recently regarded as top-secret and politically-sensitive pieces of military hardware.
