Israeli F-4 Phantom Operations During the Yom Kippur War In the years that preceded the October 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel invested heavily in the creation of a heavy attack force of four F-4 Phantom/Kurnass squadrons. They would fly 3,000+ sorties, claim 80+ kills, and suffer 30+ losses during the nineteen days of one of the most intensive, savage wars in modern military history. This book delves into the details of individual Israeli F-4 Phantom/Kurnass crew missions and their day-to-day operations during the war. This is a must for anyone with interest in F-4 Phantom operations, Israeli Air Force heritage, and modern military history. AUTHOR: Shlomo Aloni has written dozens of books and hundreds of articles covering Israel Air Force heritage and Middle East air warfare history including Schiffer's Vultures over Israel. 298 colour and b/w photos
