SEVENTH EDITION New information on South African casualties serving directly with the RAF and other Commonwealth Air Forces during World War Two continues to come to light and many additional names have been added to the 1939-45 Roll plus one additional name to the 1946 – 1947 Roll. This Seventh Edition has been revised to incorporate all these additional names. Colonel Graham C.L. Du Toit MMM (South African Air Force Retired) The South African men and women commemorated on this Roll of Honour, were numbered among those who, at the call of Country, joined the South African Air Force and other Air Forces of the Commonwealth, left all that was dear to them, endured hardship, faced danger and finally passed out of sight in the path of duty and self sacrifice, giving up their own lives for what they believed in. Let all those who come after see to it that their names are not forgotten. But they that wait upon the Lord shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40 : 31 Saul en Jonatan, die bemindes en lieflikes, is in hul lewe en in hul dood nie geskei nie. Vinniger as arende was hulle, sterker as leeus. 2 Samuel 1 : 23 INDEX CHAPTER SECTION PERIOD 1 A 1913 – 1916: South African Aviation Corps B 1914 – 1920: South Africans in the Royal Naval Air Service C 4 Aug 1914 – 31 Aug 1921: South Africans in the Royal Flying Corps (Later Royal Air Force) D 1 Jan 1920 – 2 Sep 1939 2 A 2 Sep 1939 – 31 Apr 1946: Second World War B 2 Sep 1939 – 31 Apr 1946: South Africans who served in the Royal Air Force & other Commonwealth Air Forces – Second World War C 1946 – 1947: South Africans who served in the Royal Air Force & other Commonwealth Air Forces – Post Second World War 3 4 Aug 1950 – 20 Nov 1953: Korean War 4 1 May 1946 – 30 Apr 1994: SA Air Force Post War 5 1 May 1994 – Present Day: SA Air Force ROLL OF HONOUR SOUTH AFRICAN AVIATION CORPS 1913 - 1916 Bonson J.

Many nations, once fair and prosperous, lie naked and gutted, whilst others locked in fearful struggle, kill, destroy, and kill again. Others, far distant from the battle-fields, prompted by loyalty, or by compunction or by policy, have joined the titanic struggle. 2 S. MICHAEL'S CHRONICLE Despite the encouraging fact that fortune and success have not smiled everywhere upon our enemies, and that men may say the conflict is doing reticent Democracy a world of good, nevertheless our principles, our liberty, our very soil-all are at stake. We cannot afford to quibble and hold forth upon specious platitudes, .or upon such questions as "What is Wrong with Democracy?", "The New Order," and "Peace After the War," for if we delay in futile discussion, and do not concentrate upon the vital issue - that of winning the war - these problems of the future will not be for us to determine. Youth must prepare for the struggle that is at its door. Youth must prepare now. University courses must wait.
