Vlamgat, literally 'flaming hole' in Afrikaans, was the nickname
the South African Air Force (SAAF) gave to the Mirage F1, its
formidable frontline jet fighter during South Africa's long 'border
wars' in South West Africa (Namibia) and Angola from the late 1960s
to the late 1980s. Battling Soviet MiG-21s over African skies, the
Vlammies, the Mirage pilots as they were affectionately known,
acquitted themselves with distinction and honour. Vlamgat is a
gripping account of these pilots and their deeds of bravery; their
experiences are authentically related with accuracy, humour and
pathos - by the author, himself a Vlammie. As Willem Hechter,
former Chief of the SAAF, says: "Vlamgat deserves a place of pride
in the long history of this, the second oldest air force in the
world."
