At most, they mention a few air combats involving Mirage F.1 interceptors of the South African Air Force (SAAF) in 1987 and 1988, and perhaps a little about the activity of the FAPA/DAA’s MiG-23s. However, a closer study of Angolan and Cuban sources reveals an entirely different image of the air war over Angola in the 1980s: indeed, it reveals the extent to which the flow of the entire war was dictated by the availability – or the lack – of air power. These issues strongly influenced the planning and conduct of operations by the commanders of the Angolan and Cuban forces." 650 0 $a Air forces $z Angola $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Angola $x Aerial operations. $y Civil War, 1975-2002 $x Aerial operations. 651 0 $a Angola $x Participation, Cuban. $y Civil War, 1975-2002 $x Participation, Cuban. 650 7 $a Air forces. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00802378 650 7 $a Military operations, Aerial. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710198 650 7 $a Military participation $x Cuban. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353711 651 7 $a Angola. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208401 648 7 $a 1900-2002 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Cooper, Tom, $d 1970- $e author. 700 1 $a Matos, Jose, $e author. 830 0 $a Africa@War ; $v 54. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D826E18CAE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
