Katanga Air Force

According to your source The “Avikat: Katanga Air Force” only lists AT-6, DH.104 Doves, Dornier Do.28A, and CM.170 Magister’s. The first part of the article mentions the Aérospatiale Alouette II which is under Belgian control and never established if the Katangese government takes control of these aircraft. _ FOX 52 (talk) 06:48, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article states the Alouette as one of the aircraft left behind that formed the nucleus of the FAK.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:14, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see that, I thought there were more numbers that made a notable air force. Thanks FOX 52 (talk) 19:38, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's all very well to call it a "Katanga Air Force" in the article for uniformity, but one must take into consideration the confused situation which enveloped that nation between 1961 and 1963. The FAK was more of a mercenary unit informally organised by its pilots and may not have answered to any chain of the Katangese military command beyond the vague loyalty expressed to Tshombe. All the pilots were (for instance) European (and often civilian) volunteers. In addition, Mike Hoare - an individual who certainly would have known what he was talking about - indicates that FAK was merely the aerial arm of the state Gendarmerie, which is not a military formation. Sure, the lines drawn between civilian and military in the Katangese security forces were often blurred; indeed, confused by several different designations used by various personnel. However, just as the section on Belgium in the article differentiates between the Gendarmes and the Air Force, we ought to make a distinction between an actual Katangese air force and what may have simply been a 'free' company or the aviation wing of a state police.
