📮 Vlamgat: The Story of the Mirage F1 by Dick Lord (.PDF)

"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 and -23s over African skies, the Vlammies, the Mirage pilots as they were affectionately known, acquitted themselves with distinction and honor. Vlamgat is a gripping account of these pilots and their deeds of bravery; their experiences are authentically related with accuracy, humor and pathos—by the author, himself a Vlammie. As Willem Hechter, former Chief of the SAAF, says in the foreword: “Vlamgat deserves a place of pride in the long history of this, the second oldest air force in the world.” Brigadier General Dick Lord (20 June 1936 - 26 October 2011) from Johannesburg, South Africa was a South African Air Force and Fleet Air Arm pilot. He was born in Johannesburg and attended Parktown Boys' High School. He joined the Royal Navy in 1958 where he qualified as a fighter pilot. Whilst serving in the Royal Navy, Lord did a two-year exchange tour with the US Navy.
