Video: "Rare ww2 film: SAAF in East- and North Africa"






John Hewitson was a ww2 fighter pilot flying with No.1 Squadron SAAF. He saw service from 1940 in East Africa and North Africa. He flew Gladiators, Hurricanes and Tomahawks and is the last South African ace still to be around. I visited him at his house in December 2011 and he gave me his 8mm war films to be digitized.
