    Default Springbok Wings in Action 75 years ago




    75 Years ago,the first South African Air Force Liberators took off on a suicidal mission to Warsaw. This was the start of arguably one of the most daring and tragic series of missions ever flown by heavy bombers as they had to fly at night only 450 feet high at landing speed over the enemy infested city.

    Brian Jones lived in Roodepoort until his death a few years ago. Knew him well.

    Lovely thread, thanks. To think, I initially opened it thinking it was a thread about rugby...
