Eagles Strike by James Ambrose Brown is Volume IV in the important South African Forces World War II series. Published by Purnell in 1974, this substantial hardcover chronicles the role of the South African Air Force in Egypt, Cyrenaica, Libya, Tunisia, Tripolitania and Madagascar between 1941 and 1943.
Brown provides a detailed account of the South African Air Force’s contribution to the North African campaign, including the fighting at Tobruk, El Alamein, Tripoli and the advance across the desert. Eagles Strike combines strategic analysis with first-hand operational detail, and remains one of the standard South African references on the Second World War and military aviation history. Illustrated with maps and photographic plates, it is particularly sought after by collectors of South African militaria, WWII aviation books and Purnell’s wartime history series.
