The South African Air Force (SAAF) (Afrikaans: Suid-Afrikaanse Lugmag) is the air force of South Africa.
When the Union Defence Forces were reorganised into individual services in 1951, the SAAF became an arm of service in its own right, under an Air Chief of Staff (who was renamed "Chief of the Air Force" in 1966).

 South African Air Aces 1939-1945 - South African Military History Society
He was not originally included as his South African background was not appreciated, it having been believed that he only came to this country after the war.
The Squadron fell back to Eleusis, and he probably destroyed many further aircraft during this period; his surviving comrades insist that he did, but due to the confusion and destruction of war it is not possible to prove this from RAF records.
Pat Pattle was the most successful fighter pilot of the RAF and Commonwealth Air Forces in the 1939-45 war; that he has never been officially acknowledged as such is due to the fact that the British Ministry of Defence is not in a position to confirm his victories.

While providing about 10% of the "international forces" working with the U.S. in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan, France further aligned with Washington by cosponsoring an unusual UN resolution (1559) in September demanding the withdrawal of foreign (Syrian) troops in Lebanon, which, like Haiti, is a former French colony.

The razing of that city began with weeks of "targeted" air attacks on what were termed insurgent "safe havens." Falluja is now a wasteland and, while fantasies about its reconstruction abound, the fighting only continues.
This far-from-exhaustive list is taken from the summary press reports on the war that appear almost daily.
Now, it's true that any air war is harder to report on than a ground war, especially if reporters aren't allowed in planes or on helicopters (as they are on the river boats and in the Bradleys, for instance).

It was not the authors intention to produce a definative history of each aircraft type in SAAF service, but for SAAF enthusiasts who track planes and who wish to have easy reference to past and current airframe inventories.
Each type commences with a brief introduction to the aircraft, followed by a listing of aircraft by serial, constructor's number, date into service, previous identity and subsequent fate.
If this sounds familiar, then it is. Much of the introduction and listings for many of the post WWII types have been copied over, word for word, from the authors previous publication, African Air Forces.

 The New Yorker: Fact
For example, the former high-level intelligence official told me that an American commando task force has been set up in South Asia and is now working closely with a group of Pakistani scientists and technicians who had dealt with Iranian counterparts.
Previously, an American invasion force would have had to enter Iran by sea, by way of the Persian Gulf or the Gulf of Oman; now troops could move in on the ground, from Afghanistan or Iraq.
The new rules will enable the Special Forces community to set up what it calls “action teams” in the target countries overseas which can be used to find and eliminate terrorist organizations.
