Summary: Disappointment
Comment: Behind the title "The encyclopedia of 20th century conflict - Air Warfare" hides a very superficial book.

As an Israeli, naturally, I searched for information concerning Israel and the middle east - Arab-Israeli air warfare history.

I found a map concerning Operation "Moked" (the Israeli wipe-off of the Arab air power at the beginning of the Six Day war of 1967) but no decription of the operation nor the name of it (in the operation section) were found. I continued with my search going to 1982 looking for information of the major dogfight in which the Israeli AF downed 92 Syrian fighters just in 2 hours - (a third of the Syrian airpower and the largest dogfight in the jet age...) "9 June (1982) The Israelis launch the first of a series of attacks intended to destroy Syrian SAM system in the Lebanon". If you would wonder what was the previous major Air Warfare chronologic event - "3 June (1982) Leaflets calling for an Argentine surrender are dropped on Port Stanley and an RAF Vulcan lands at Brazilian airport after flying from Ascension"...

Other Air Warfare events like the Entebbe raid are not even mentioned, nor could I find an image of an F-15 or F-4 Phantom...

Concerning photos - the book has quite a lot of interesting images (my reason for buying the book was a photo of an Israeli Mosquito) of tested variants of the V-1 flying bomb both in Russia and USA and other interesting historivcal images.

If you are looking for a good book about Air Warfare - this might not be the best choice, but if you are looking for more inforamtion or interesting images this book is comes as an option. In general you will find some interesting info
