Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book evaluates the development of the Rhodesian Air Force during the Second Chimurenga or Bush War (1966-1979). The Rhodesian Air Force was deployed in a war-winning versus a supporting role as a result of the shortage of manpower to deal with insurgency. Almost all units of the Rhodesian Security Forces depended on its tactical effectiveness"--Provided by publisher. |
