The Dhofar War (1962–1976) was a conflict in Oman, fought primarily between the government forces of Oman, supported by British military advisors, and communist-backed insurgents in the Dhofar region of southern Oman. The war had a significant air component, with air support being crucial to the government’s efforts to suppress the rebellion. The role of the air force, particularly the pilots involved, was critical in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Sultanate of Oman.
