About this title

Synopsis

The book is about an in-depth interrogation and analysis by several contributors on the utility of the Rhodesian Air Force (Rh AF) during the Second Chimurenga (Zimbabwe war of liberation) and how the nationalist guerrillas responded. The book also attempts to explain the extent to which the Rh AF failed to prevent the guerrilla incursions from the east and west of the country in the late 1970s. Even after the establishment of the ‘national cordon sanitaire’ air support lacked on this venture due to other pressing demands such as fire force operations against nationalist guerrilla bases in neighbouring countries such as Zambia and Mozambique.
