Titovi letovi mira
An overview of Josip Broz Tito’s aerial missions and travels around the world. The book documents the diplomacy of the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as the crews, aircraft, and logistics behind these historic “flights of peace.”
The monograph "Tito’s Flights of Peace," authored by Predrag Pejčić, explores a unique and lesser-known aspect of Yugoslav diplomacy: the air travels of Josip Broz Tito, which served to promote the policy of non-alignment and peaceful coexistence. As an expert in aviation history, the author provides a detailed account of the numerous flights Tito took to countries across Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, building bridges of friendship during an era of Cold War tensions. Drawing on extensive archival material, photographs, and personal accounts, Pejčić analyzes not only the political significance of these missions but also the complex logistics involved. The book places particular emphasis on the aircraft used for these presidential journeys, the preparation of flight crews, security protocols, and the specific challenges associated with long-haul flying at that time. This work sheds light on the role played by the Yugoslav Air Force and civil aviation in supporting state-level diplomacy. The book serves as a valuable resource for both aviation history enthusiasts and scholars of Yugoslav foreign policy and Tito’s role as a global advocate for peace.
