As I was scanning the article of the evolution of the SAAF’s National insignia I found the following article by Dave Becker as well. The scanned article of the evolution of the SAAF’s National insignia can be found under “General model discussion”.

It is the SA Flyer, Sept 2003.

Kremlin, I don't have a "trommel". I only have "die 4de kabinet" :lol: I'm still going through the archives and it looks promising. :wink:

Hi Wingman; great articles, keep them coming! Is there a possibility I can get hold of high res versions of your scans? Would like to use some of the photographs in a video I am doing regarding a veteran who was an instructor at many of these airfields in 1941-1943...
