 A chronological, sequential narrative of the salient points in the IAF’s existence, from it’s pre-conception right up to the early part of the 21st century. It is written with a minimum of technical or political detail or professional jargon, and in an ‘easy to read’ format which should make it interesting reading for all levels of aviation and military enthusiasts!
