What’s New

26 December 2011. The last update for this year! We have a “First Look Review” of a new book by Freewold Publications. The book is “Springbok Fighter Victory - SAAF Fighter Operations 1939-45, Victory on all Fronts” by Micheal Schoeman.

Herewith the cover scan of the book. It is always good to see the publication of new SA history related books which deal with the SAAF in WW2.

15 September 2011.  A major redesign and update to our site. The addition of some colour information under the Colour tab will allow you to get to some of the digital colour sets we are using for our drawings, download them and use them if you so wish.

We also collect colour information, so if you have any which is about a specific piece of South African equipment, please pass it on and we will include it under the Colour tab.
