3.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Overview of One of the World's Top Air Forces.,
By John A. Barnes (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Israel's Air Force: 1948 To Today (Power Series) (Paperback)
More than almost any other nation on earth, Israel relies for its survival on a large, superbly trained and equipped air force ready for instant action. Sam Katz, a veteran profiler of the world's elite counter-terrorist and police forces gives an excellent overview of how this amazing organization operates. The highlight, however, is undoubtedly the chapter on the incredibly demanding selection and training process for Israeli pilots. Katz's trademark "buff" prose grates after awhile, but overall, a fine handbook.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Hel Ha-Avir (IAF) Background and Photographs!,
By Maximillian Ben Hanan (Sacramento, California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Israel's Air Force: 1948 To Today (Power Series) (Paperback)
Samuel Katz, an IDF veteran of Operation Oeace for Galilee, is also a veteran chronicler of the Israeli Defence Forces and an experienced terrorist profiler. His sabra (native-born Israeli) wife helps give him an edge over non-Hebrew-speaking IDF researchers.Israel's Air Force - The Power Series is a great book to gain information about the Hel Ha'Avir or the Israeli Air Force (IAF). The book is a great complement to other IAF book such as those by Lon Nordeen, Peter Mersky, Salvador Huertas, or others. What it offers that others don't is a chapter-by-chapter overview of the IAF that is easily accessible. Chapters cover such details and information as: A comprehesive introduction, a great IAF history up to 1991 including a rivetting story of the rescue of a downed flier in Lebanon, background on IAF pilots and training, IAF airbases, the helicopter forces (a relatively new branch of the IAF), the IAF Aeromedical Evacuation Units, the air defence forces, as well as a handy aircraft glossary. I highly recommend this book and its' companion: Israel's Army - Landpower #3005. They are the very best introductory and general volumes available on the IDF.
