Don’t let yourself be put off by the title – this is not just a story on basic military training for the Swiss militia but more a historical overview of technical training from 1921 until 1995 – well recorded and presented by G. Hoch, staff sergeant and modeller.

Text and pictures (b/w) in different sizes permit an interesting view into this part of the Swiss AF over the period.

In addition to some pictures of aircraft you also find insight into changing uniforms, equipment and vehicles as well, rarely documented elsewhere.
