Vlamgat : the story of the mirage F1 in the South African Air Force
Dick Lord (Author), Willem Hendrik Hechter
"Vlamgat, literally 'flaming hole' in Africakaans, was the nickname of 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 MiGs over African skies, the Vlammies, as the Mirage pilots were affectionately known, acquitted themselves with distinction and honour."-- Page 4 of cover
