In Israeli service the multi-role F-4 flew attack and air-to-air missions with equal success, yet due to the availability of the Mirage III and Nesher delta fighters, the American aircraft flew mainly air-to-ground missions. Nevertheless, aces were created, and the story of these crews is described through first-hand accounts in this unique volume. Indeed, the human aspects of fighting in a two-seat fighter-bomber against formidable and sometimes superior defences are thoroughly analysed. Teaming pilots with previous experience of the Mirage III with transport or newly graduated navigators proved ultimately to be a successful approach. This is the first volume ever to be dedicated exclusively to Israeli F-4 aces.

Seller's Description:
New in card cover. Osprey Aviation The F-4E Phantom II was used by the Israelis in the air-to-ground role and in air-to-air missions. Despite performing these roles with equal success the Israeli reliance on the Mirage III and Nesher delta fighters meant that the F-4 was used mostly in its air-to-ground role. The kill total of the Israeli F-4 community was, consequently, a modest 116.5; significantly lower than that of other Israeli aircraft types in service between 1969 and 1982. A handful of aces were, nevertheless, created and, using first hand accounts, this unique book tells their stories. UL-XXXXXX. A4 format, 96pp, numerous b/w photos, 12pp colour plates.
