Nigeria receives final batch of Super Mushshak trainer aircraft

The "Biafran Babies"

The first of the daring raids was launched at noon May 22, 1969, on the airport at Port Harcourt. Skimming the tree tops and firing their rockets a few feet above the ground, the “Babies” knocked out two MiGs and damaged two more.

Two days later, a dawn attack against another airport knocked out two more MiGs and two days after that, a third airfield was attacked, knocking out three more MiGs. The fourth and final mass attack was against an important power plant, knocking it out for six months.
