Description
The Tito's Underground Air Base Bihać (Željava) Underground Yugoslav Air Force Base, 1964-1992 is a unique and fascinating account of Yugoslavia's military efforts during the Cold War era. Built as part of Yugoslavia's independent defence capabilities, this underground air base was constructed directly on the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The book provides an in-depth look at the design and construction of the air base, as well as the activities of its MiG-21 squadrons from 1968 to 1991. The author's detailed account offers a rare glimpse into Yugoslavia's military operations during this period, making it a valuable resource for aviation and military enthusiasts. With five chapters covering the entire history of the air base, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Yugoslavia's air force or the Cold War era.
