Synopsis "Nickel Cross: Retired combat pilot (in English)"
The life and time of a Rhodesian Air Force combat pilot who followed his father's footsteps into aviation and fought in the Rhodesian / Zimbabwe war 1965-1980. Heritage is traced from his grandfather's participation in the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902, his father's involvement in East-Africa during the Second World War 1939-1945 and his survival in the Southern African conflict. The author flew a variety of aircraft and served as a Flight Commander on Hawker Hunter and Canberra aircraft, serving on No's 1 and 5 Squadrons of the Rhodesian Air Force. Rhodesian Air Force Operations with Airstrike Log and its companion, Nickel Cross was first published in 2007.These two volumes formed the basis for the author's biography. However, the widespread interest in only short sections of the 'full story' attracted so much interest that several sections were published to meet demands. Now a lot more wise and knowledgeable demands that strict editing is applied to sustain the interest - especially the war history aspect.A lesson in War, and life results in "to the Victor, the spoils". In other words, the Government in power writes its own so-called 'history'. Where this is lacking, especially in Africa, country name changes occur, followed by the hijacking of City, town and even street names. So, before long, places and names like Rhodesia and even Pretoria will fade into the past (dare I say history?). My own fact story biography covers different aspects the past.The biggest change in this edition is the much larger font used. With own eyesight fading rapidly, the reader deserves to see what one is reading. This is a true story
