The story on how the Zambia Air Force received the Dakotas and Pembrokes dates back to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and its break up in late 1963 when Nyasaland became Malawi, Northern Rhodesia became Zambia, and Southern Rhodesia became Rhodesia. The ZAF inherited four Dakotas and two Pembrokes from the Federal air force, the Royal Rhodesian Air Force. The Alouettes and Hunters remained south of the Zambezi in Rhodesia.
