Arab - Israeli Air Wars 1967-82
Aircraft of the Aces: Men & Legends Series 49
Israel's successful strategy of pre-emptive air strikes on Arab
airbases in the Six Day War played a critical part in their unprecedented victory. It brought them air supremacy and vast territorial buffer zones: the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and the West Bank of Jordan, but it did not bring peace. Egypt, with the help of the Soviel Union, masterminded a war of attrition against the Israeli Air
Force using the latest missile technology.The USA inevitably took .Israel's side and the arrival of F-4s and F-15s helped redress the balance. Israel then held off the Arab attack of October 1973 and won another surprise victory in the so-called Yom Kippur War. In spite of peace treaties, hostilities did not cease and in 1982 the conflict moved to the Lebanon. This book traces the war in the air between Israel and its Arab neighbours during these troubled years.
