Sweeping Circles in the Sky African Aviation Series No. 14 | Maj-Gen T.G.E. Cockbain

Told by the man widely regarded as the father of the SAAF's postwar radar network, this is the authoritative inside account of how South Africa built and operated one of the most sophisticated air defence systems on the African continent.

Drawing on decades of personal experience and operational knowledge, Maj-Gen Cockbain charts the development of South African radar capability from the postwar years through the height of the Border War era, covering the technology, the people, and the strategic thinking that shaped it all.

An indispensable title for students of SAAF history and electronic warfare
