Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Original staple-bound colour illustrated wraps 15x22cm, with a striking aerial view of fighters flying over Kuwait City to the front, and various KAF and air base crests to the back 15x22cm. Printed by Al-Assriya Press. 32pp including royal portraits and several colour photos. Covers very good, interiors near fine. Undated but c1993 (reference on p30). This appears to have been produced to present a message of resilience to the Kuwaiti people and the outside world that although the Kuwait Air Force experienced serious damage during the Gulf War, it is learning lessons from that, and quickly rebuilding. It opens with a history from Phase 1 beginning in 1953 with the launch of the Kuwait Flight Club for amateurs, to Phase 4 beginning in 1990/1 in response to the Gulf War. The list of Commanders is brought up to date with Brigadier-General Saber M. Al-Suwaidan, who replaced Major General Dawood S. Al-Ghanim in 1992, and wrote the Introduction. A list of aircraft since 1953 (grouped into fighters, transport, helicopters, training) identifies those still active, with several full-page photos indicating their numbers and the date they entered service. A table shows the number of hours and missions flown from Saudi Arabia broken down by aircraft type and the various phases of Desert Shield and Desert Storm, naming the craft and pilot shot down. It ends by assessing the status of the KAF after liberation and its rebuilding, illustrated with 3 full-page photos showing the extent of devastation.
