  1995. Large hard cover with dust cover. 200 pages. Very good condition; tightly bound, neat and clean. Book dealer's rubber stamp in front.  Over 1kg. POTGIETER, HERMAN; TEXT BY LINDEN BIRNS. 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.

  REGIMENT BOTHA TITLE BADGE Named or the Prime Minister and Boer general, Regiment Botha was formed on April 1 1934 at Ermelo and recruited in the then-northern and eastern Transvaal. By 1939 there were two battalions but only the second was mobilised on June 19, 1940. The unit was brigaded with 3 Transvaal Scottish and the SA Irish and served in Ethiopia. It arrived in North Africa as part of 5 SA Brigade in May 1941 and met its nemesis at the hands of the Deutsches Afrika Korps on Totensontag, November 23, 1941 when, as Major G Tylden puts it, it was “badly cut up at Sidi Rezegh and suffered heavily”. The next month, the survivors of 2 Regt Botha and the other units of 5 SA Brigade were reorganised into a composite battalion for further service. The identity of the other units disappeared and after reinforcement by a draft of Witwatersrand Rifles, 2 Regt Botha was back at full strength by April 1942. The regiment fought at first Alamein from July to October 1942, helping to stop Panzerarmee Afrika in its tracks. The unit returned to South Africa in January 1943. In August, 2 Regt Botha and Regiment President Steyn merged “for the duration” to form the Botha-President Steyn Armoured Commando, assigned to 6 SA Armoured Division. Once in Italy, the unit as broken up, with some going to the Pretoria Regiment and other to the Imperial Light Horse (now Light Horse Regiment). In 1951 2 Regiment Botha became the Regiment Christiaan Beyers.   Current role: Motorised infantry =  Current base: Barberton Battle honours: Motto: Altyd gereed (Always ready).       Condition:  Good.
