Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Micha Bar-Am [Chief Photographer], Daniel Shalom ( (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. 240 pages. Text is in Hebrew and English.

Ink inscription in Hebrew on half-title page which reads "To Avigdor, Upon your entering the large Air Force family Good luckPeleg Tamir December 1971". Peleg Tamir was a senior officer in the IDF air force ( and also was in the Irgun before the establishment of the State). This book details the Air Force of Israel from it's beginning to about 1971. The Ministry of Defense oversees most of the Israeli security forces, including the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel Military Industries (IMI), and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The MOD was established when the British Mandate of Palestine ended, and the British Army departed Palestine and the State of Israel was formed. This ended the rag-tag militia units during British rule and gave way to the formal defense of the Jewish state. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) operates as the aerial warfare branch of the Israel Defense Forces. It was founded on May 28, 1948, shortly after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The Israeli Air Force was established using commandeered or donated civilian aircraft and obsolete and surplus World War II combat aircraft. Eventually, more aircraft were procured, including Boeing B-17s, Bristol Beaufighters, de Havilland Mosquitoes and P-51D Mustangs. The Israeli Air Force played an important part in Operation Kadesh, Israel's part in the 1956 Suez Crisis, dropping paratroopers at the Mitla Pass. On June 5, 1967, the first day of the Six-Day War, the Israeli Air Force performed Operation Focus, debilitating the opposing Arab air forces and attaining air supremacy for the remainder of the war. Shortly after the end of the Six-Day War, Egypt initiated the War of Attrition, and the Israeli Air Force performed repeated bombings of strategic targets deep within enemy territory. When the Yom Kippur War broke out on October 6, 1973, the close air support it provided allowed Israeli troops on the ground to stem the tide and eventually go on the offensive.
