Harry Raffal and Samuel Oyewole sat at a table holding the book: Close Air Support
After five years of supporting each other from different continents, Samuel Oyewole and I finally got to meet in person today at the @rafmuseum.bsky.social
Close Air Support includes Sam's chapter on the Nigerian experience of CAS and it was lovely to be able to give him his copy in person
