{"product_id":"9781928211679","title":"Enduring Valour","description":"The Honoris Crux (Cross of Honour) was South Africa’s premier gallantry decoration awarded to members of the SA Defence Force between 1952 and 2003. The stories behind over 300 of these awards and other medals for bravery are graphically told—ranging from outstanding valour in all types of warfare to exceptional heroism displayed in saving lives. For these soldiers, sailors and airmen the common denominator was courage. One reads of a SAAF helicopter pilot who noticed that a friend’s gunship was under heavy fire, so switched on his lights to attract fire away from his comrade. The same pilot was later to land in an enemy camp to rescue the crew of a downed helicopter who were being chased by a patrol. A jet pilot whose Buccaneer was out of ammunition dive-bombed enemy tanks to keep them from overrunning his forces.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45358890451059,"sku":"9781928211679","price":242.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/14356333482874.jpg?v=1788979538","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.shop\/de\/products\/9781928211679","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
