(More customer reviews)An outstanding review of the wars in the Middle East, the book focuses primarily on the Israeli Air Force during the 1947-1982 time frame. 16 color profiles and many previously not seen photos (11 in color) as well as 4 campaign maps, make for a well-rounded addition in the Combat Aircraft Series by Osprey. Much new information recently declassified by the Israelis makes for an interesting read. Gone are the 'aliases' many authors were forced to use in the past in other Israeli Air Force books, e.g. Lt. Y, Capt. X, etc, etc. Now the reader will actually learn who these men were! I would highly recommend this book to students of the Middle East as well as the IAF.

When the UN called for the end of the British mandate and the partition of Palestine into two independent states, the RAF found itself under attack from both sides. Tracing the development of hostilities in the Middle East, this book covers the period from the establishment of the first proper Israeli Air Force in 1948 to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Israel's War of Independence against its Arab neighbours, the inevitable 'round two', the Suez Crisis of 1956, the Six Day War of 1967, the Yom Kippur wars of 1973 and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 are all detailed in this fascinating chronicle of war in the Middle East.
