story: Warsaw in 1944, the Flying Cheetahs in Korea and a Border War under embargo<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1914&ndash;1939: from the Aviation Corps to an air force of its own<\/h3>\n<p>South African military flying began before the Union had an air force. Six officers qualified at the flying school at Alexandersfontein, near Kimberley, in April 1914, and the South African Aviation Corps flew in the campaign against German South West Africa from 6 May 1915. Its pilots then went into the Royal Flying Corps: a South African unit, 26 Squadron RFC, was in Kenya from January 1916, and Wikipedia counts some 3,000 South Africans in the RFC, 260 of whom died. Pierre van Ryneveld, who flew from England to the Cape with Quintin Brand in 1920, was appointed Director of Air Services in June 1920 with effect from 1 February 1920 &mdash; the date the service still treats as its birthday. Britain&rsquo;s Imperial Gift supplied 100 aircraft, Zwartkop became the first air base in 1921, and the name South African Air Force was first used officially on 1 February 1923. Its first operations were at home and in the mandated territory: 1 Squadron lost two aircraft against the striking miners of the Rand in March 1922, and two DH.9s bombed and strafed the Bondelswarts in May 1922, when about 100 Nama were killed, women and children among them &mdash; an action the League of Nations&rsquo; Permanent Mandates Commission investigated.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1940&ndash;1945: East Africa, the Desert, Italy and Warsaw<\/h3>\n<p>In September 1939 the SAAF had 160 permanent officers, 35 cadets and 1,400 other ranks, and its modern combat aircraft amounted to six Hurricanes, one Battle and one Blenheim. It grew into one of the larger Allied air arms. Converted Ju 86s of 12 Squadron bombed Italian positions at Moyale in June 1940, and by December 1940 ten squadrons and a flight were flying against the Italians in East Africa. In the Western Desert, Wikipedia records eleven SAAF squadrons flying 33,991 sorties between 1941 and 1943 and claiming 342 enemy aircraft destroyed; SAAF squadrons flew from Malta over Sicily and then fought up Italy and over the Balkans. In August and September 1944 the Liberators of 31 and 34 Squadrons flew 181 supply sorties from Italy to the Warsaw Uprising, part of an airlift in which the air forces involved lost 41 aircraft. By the end of 1944 the SAAF had 44,417 people, 2,349 of them pilots, and by 1945 the Joint Air Training Scheme had trained 33,347 aircrew at 36 air schools in South Africa. The war made the SAAF; it also left it far larger than peacetime South Africa wanted to pay for.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1948&ndash;1963: Berlin, the Flying Cheetahs and the first jets<\/h3>\n<p>The post-war air force was small but busy. It supplied 20 aircrews to the Berlin Airlift, which flew 4,133 tons of supplies on 1,240 missions, and in November 1950 put the springbok in the centre of its roundel. Korea was its last war as part of a large allied force. 2 Squadron, the Flying Cheetahs, sailed for Japan on 25 September 1950 and flew its first mission from the airfields at Pyongyang on 19 November 1950, as part of the USAF&rsquo;s 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing. Ground attack in the F-51D Mustang was costly: 10,373 sorties and 74 of 95 aircraft lost. From January 1953 the squadron flew F-86F Sabres, losing four of 22 in 2,032 sorties. The unofficial SAAF history counts 34 pilots killed and eight taken prisoner, among them Denis Earp, later Chief of the Air Force; Wikipedia&rsquo;s squadron article gives 33. The squadron earned US and Korean Presidential Unit Citations. At home the jet age arrived with Vampires from 1950, Canadair Sabre Mk 6s from 1956 and Mirage IIIs from 1963, with Canberras, Buccaneers and Shackletons for strike and maritime patrol.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1966&ndash;1989: the Border War, under embargo<\/h3>\n<p>The Border War was the SAAF&rsquo;s longest war: it is dated from a clash at Omugulugwombashe on 26 August 1966 and ended with the withdrawal from Angola and Namibia in 1988&ndash;1989. Helicopters, Impalas and light aircraft did most of the daily work; the jets first went into action since Korea at Cassinga on 4 May 1978, which South Africa calls a SWAPO base and SWAPO and Angola call a refugee camp &mdash; the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1998 found it was a military facility from the SADF&rsquo;s perspective but could not establish the civilian toll. International arms embargoes meant South Africa could not buy new fighters after the Mirage F1s that arrived from 1975, so it rebuilt Mirage IIIs into Cheetahs with Israeli help. In the air the record is contested. Major Johan Rankin shot down two Angolan MiG-21s in 1981 and 1982; over Cuito Cuanavale in 1987&ndash;1988 Cuban-flown MiG-23s and dense air defences took the initiative, and Cuba and South Africa still give different accounts of who won. Wikipedia, citing Dick Lord, counts 22 SAAF aircraft lost to enemy action between 1974 and 1989. By 1990 the force had more than 800 aircraft.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1994&ndash;2012: integration, the arms deal and the Gripen<\/h3>\n<p>Democracy shrank the air force and changed who served in it. The South African National Defence Force formed in 1994 took in the old SADF, the homeland forces and the guerrilla armies MK and APLA; the SAAF retired more than 400 aircraft and closed more than a dozen squadrons and two bases. The Mirage F1 went in 1992 and 1997, the Impala in 2005 and the Cheetah on 1 April 2008. The replacements came in the arms deal signed on 3 December 1999: 24 Hawk Mk 120s, 28 Gripens (cut to 26 in 2005) and 30 A109 helicopters, part of a package announced at R29.992 billion. It was dogged by corruption allegations: Schabir Shaik was convicted in 2005, the Seriti Commission found no evidence of wrongdoing in 2016, and the High Court set its findings aside in August 2019. The aircraft themselves were good. The first Hawks were handed over on 24 May 2006, the first Gripen reached Makhado in 2008, and the locally designed Rooivalk attack helicopter, in development since 1984, was declared fully operational on 1 April 2011.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">2013&ndash;2026: Goma, groundings and an &ldquo;unfunded&rdquo; air force<\/h3>\n<p>The Rooivalk then had its war. Three deployed to the eastern DRC with the UN Force Intervention Brigade in October 2013 and on 4 November 2013 attacked M23 positions; the defence minister of the day said M23 had to retreat because of them. But money was running out. The Gripens were grounded from September 2021 until a Saab contract let 13 of the 25 fly again on 5 September 2022, with 12 stored. In November 2024 Armscor told Parliament that most support contracts were underfunded and that the Hawk contract had lapsed; the Rooivalks, unflown in the DRC since August 2022, came home in December 2024. During the SADC mission in the DRC, defenceWeb reported Oryx helicopters hit by small-arms fire with fatalities; ten South African soldiers died at Goma in January 2025, and SADC ended the mission in March. In June 2025 Armscor reported two serviceable C-130s and a maintenance shortfall of R7.7 billion over three years. The SAAF still delivers: it policed the G20 summit in November 2025 with Gripens, Hawks and Rooivalks. Its new chief, Carl Moatshe, has said plainly that it is part of &ldquo;an unfunded Defence Force&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"pull\">In September 1939 the SAAF had 160 permanent officers, 35 cadets and 1,400 other ranks, and its modern combat aircraft amounted to six Hurricanes, one Battle and one Blenheim.

Since the Saab support contract of 2022 only 13 have been funded to fly, with 12 stored, and Armscor still targeted 13 in June 2025.
