Osprey Combat Aircraft #23
Arab Israeli Air Wars 1947–82
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.

Read this as a companion to the freelance research I was doing for a upcoming board game. This is why it took me so long to read the entire thing.

Osprey Publishing Combat Aircraft publication.
A great summary how the Israeli Air Force was created while fighting its nation's enemies.

El libro es bueno , la critica es que solo se basa en la parte israeli , de hecho hay como 20 declaraciones de pilotos textuales, y todas son de judíos ni una sola declaración de pilotos árabes
