| Abstract: | Discussion of the character of African air forces (personnel, equipment, training, organization), why air power has generally fallen short of African expectations, and what the future is likely to hold. The author concludes that the development of African air forces in the late 1980s and the 1990s will be determined primarily by external assistance, with the exception of South Africa, which has a measure of air-power independence.
