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.
