TrapperPWho was "Green Leader?"
I'm posting up a YouTube of a raid by the Rhodesian Air Force into neighboring Zambia in 1978. This raid was in retaliation for the shooting down of a Rhodesian civil ariliner and was lead by a Rhodesian identified only as "Green Leader." Not that it means anything after thirty years but does anyone know who this was or anything about this guy "Green Leader?"
