Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Daniel Kowalczuk is a Polish analyst of post-colonial wars around the Globe, with special interests in Biafra, the Congo, Sub-Saharan Africa and Indochina since 1945. He has published dozens of related articles in the specialized press and is widely acknowledged for his often pioneering work. Furthermore, he has researched and authored studies of several other little-known conflicts, including the Coconut Revolution (Bougainville, 1980-1988), and the Noumea Hostage Crisis (New Caledonia, 1988), the commercial use of helicopters during the Biafran War, the 'Brown Water Navy' operated by France during the I Indochina War (1945-1954), and the history of the Katanga Air Force. Following 'Kolwezi, 1978', 'Air Wars over the Congo, Volume 1', is his second instalment for Helion's Africa@War series.
