Britain's Rebel Air Force: The War from the Air in Rhodesia, 1965-80 - Nesbit, Cowderoy~Updated/revised version of the 'War in the Air: Rhodesian Air Force 1935-1980' written by the same authors.
The Rhodesian declaration of independence in 1965 heralded a rebellion by people of mainly British stock against their mother country. One of the main instruments which sustained this rebellion for 14 years was the Royal Rhodesian Air Force. Many of those who served in this force had strong affiliations with the RAF and were trained in its methods and aircraft. This account of the war has been compiled using the first-hand personal experiences of many pilots and crew. Appendices include matters such as Chiefs of Air Staff, air bases, rank structure, honours and awards, and lists of aircrafts and losses, as well as details of how Royal Navy warships and Royal Air Force units carried out patrols in attempts to enforce sanctions. Maps and photographs are included which illustrate specialized aircraft involved, such as twin-fuselage Lynx.

War in the Air: Rhodesian Air Force 1935-1980 - Dudley Cowderoy & Roy Nesbit~Air power was one of the main instruments by which the Rhodesian security forces defended the country for so long and so successfully. Quite apart from the aerial strikes made by pilots and aircrews, many ground troops were airborne. Both authors flew for several years in the Royal Air Force and spent much time as instructors in Rhodesia. The authors have not attempted to list every Rhodesian air strike, instead they have traced the political events that shaped the war in Rhodesia and related these to the development of air tactics and combined operations. They have done this with the help of first hand accounts from many of the courageous airmen who flew in the conflict. Revealed for the first time, too, are details of the vital role played by South African's combat aircraft and airmen, many of whom laid down their lives while fighting for Rhodesia's cause. The result is a very clear and informative account of of the war in the air - a subject of major interest to air forces around the world, for these methods of anti-guerilla operations are described with some justification as 'the war of the future'.
