Mission Statment

The purpose of the Small Air Forces Clearinghouse (SAFCH) is to "promote interest in the history and modeling of the aircraft of the smaller countries of the world". In support of this goal, the SAFCH encourages international cooperation in researching aviation history, both military and civil, from all periods of time, and for all the smaller countries. The results of this research are published in our quarterly journal, the Small Air Forces Observer (SAFO). To further international cooperation, articles published in SAFO can be reprinted provided permission of the author is obtained and the SAFO is identified in the reprint.
