Defending Our Skies - The RSAF A Full Spectrum Force by Goh Yong Kiat (Hardcover)

The immaculate flypast of the State Flag at National Day Parades, the thrilling aerobatic displays by the Black Knights at airshows and the regular Open Houses showcase the professionalism and cutting edge capabilities of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). The RSAF was first formed as the Singapore Air Defence Command (SADC) three years after the nation's independence, during a time of uncertainties. Since then, the RSAF has come a long way.

In celebration of its Golden Jubilee Year, this book chronicles the RSAF's transformation from its humble beginning to a Full Spectrum Force, strong and integrated with its sister Services to operate across a full spectrum of operations. It is also a compilation of the aircraft and air defence systems in its order of battle over its 50 years as well as the aerodromes it operates from. With over 550 photographs, many of which are published for the first time, this book also tells the story of the dynamism and innovative spirit of the RSAF and its capability to defend Singapore's skies.
