Product Description
Guiding the reader meticulously through the details of the air conflict between the Israelis and their Arab neighbours from the end of the 1948-49 war, the authors, each an expert in his own field then, accurately reconstruct a blow-by-blow account of the Anglo-French air attacks on Egyptian airfields and other targets. With contributions by many of the pilots involved, the book is profusely illustrated with 200 photographs, many extremely rare.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"'Records the dazzling flying of the Fleet Air Arm pilots and the professionalism of their carrier-based crews who played the lead role in winning a war in 5 days.' The Western Mail 'Fascinating experiences, vividly brought to life.' Western Gazette 'Vivid descriptions fly out of the pages, with a stunning selection of photographs.' Flypast 'Well worth reading as one of the last gasps of Empire in which air power won the day, but politicians lost the war.' Air Pictorial"
