Summary: the maps are absolutely fake!
Comment: though the book is interesting, it's obvius that is biased far beyond the truth. there are certain things that must be respected if someone wants to talk about history. sadly, the author didn't do that, and presents maps of the partition of Palestine wich are not only inaccurate, but fake and aimed to change the past. that way, he crossed the line that makes the diference betwen history and propaganda.

Summary: one sided but good
Comment: I admit my experience with Osprey aviation titles is slim. This volume is entitled " Arab-Israeli "; in reality it deals with the Israeli side. That being said, it is a worthwhile book. The anecdotal quotes are illuminating. Lush sideviews are included for most of the aircraft mentioned. If, however, you are looking for coverage of the Arab air forces, I would highly recommend the Squadron title " Arab Air Forces " by Charles Stafrace. This title covers the development of Arab air power from their earliest appearences and also has great artwork. Put these two titles together and you will get a much more balanced picture of Middle Eastern air campaigns.

Summary: Arab-Israeli Air Wars 1947-82
Comment: An outstanding review of the wars in the Middle East, the book focuses primarily on the Israeli Air Force during the 1947-1982 time frame. 16 color profiles and many previously not seen photos (11 in color) as well as 4 campaign maps, make for a well-rounded addition in the Combat Aircraft Series by Osprey. Much new information recently declassified by the Israelis makes for an interesting read. Gone are the 'aliases' many authors were forced to use in the past in other Israeli Air Force books, e.g. Lt. Y, Capt. X, etc, etc. Now the reader will actually learn who these men were! I would highly recommend this book to students of the Middle East as well as the IAF.
