RE: The piece of the cold war nobody told you about - Africa's forgotten war - the SA Bomber Aircraft.

Why do you call it a border war? There is no border between Angola and South Africa. Between South Africa and Angola is Namibia and the closest Angola is to South Africa is nearly 500 miles, how can this be a border war? Or is Namibia a part of South Africa. If that is the case I am wrong.

Sort:  

Namibia was South West Africa at that stage, which South Africa had been holding onto since WW1. But SA was not only having difficulties in Angola but with all its neighboring states. I will be getting into this history in my next post or two
