The June 1967 War fought between an Arab alliance and Israel was a pivotal event in the modern history of the Middle East. This study provides the most complete and detailed coverage ever of the Arab air forces during the course of that conflict. Supported by original documentation, and hundreds of blow-by-blow accounts from participants and eyewitnesses from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Syria, the result is a fascinating and gripping narrative that uncovers many new stories for the first time. Numerous vivid descriptions shed light upon Israeli attacks on Arab air bases, dozens of air combats, efforts to continue fighting against all odds, failures of Arab security and intelligence, and conflicts within the military chains of command. These stories are complemented by descriptions of the tactics and weaponry deployed. Almost 350 photographs, diagrams and artworks combine with lucidly written text to produce one of the most informative and readable books on air warfare to have become available in recent years. Military historians and scholars interested in aviation and foreign affairs will find this volume of particular interest. As a unique work that presents the Arab point of view of a defining war, it stands as both a complement and a corrective to previous accounts of this much-misunderstood conflict.… (mais)

The title of Tom Coopers Arab MiGs series is something of a misnomer. I was expecting a service history of Arab MiGs until 1973, and that is certainly here; the MiG-15, -17, -19, -21, and -23 are covered. (Note that the MiG-23 was just entering service with Arab air forces in 1973, when this series ends. There is a separate MiG-23 book that takes up the story.) Soviet MiG-25s deployed to Egypt are also covered.
Cooper has written a comprehensive history of the major air arms – Egypt, Syria, Iraq – since the 1948 war. The Algerian AF is covered from independence, and there is much information on Morocco and Yemen. This is not just MiGs or combat aircraft, either – bombers, trainers, helicopters, transports are all covered, as is the Egyptian aerospace industry. Egyptian intervention in Yemen, Nigeria, and Sudan are documented. What surprised me most was that this extensive coverage was extended to two air forces that never operated MiGs, Jordan and Lebanon. There is coverage of US, Soviet, Saudi, and Pakistani involvement, as well.
There are pages of color profiles in each volume. All the MiGs, of course, but also Iraqi, Jordanian, and Lebanese Hunters as well as a Jordanian Starfighter and a Yemeni MiG-17. Sukhois, a Moroccan F-5, L-60 Brigadyrs, L-29s, IL-28s and Tu-16s, a Soviet MiG-25, and Mil-8 helicopters are illustrated with color profiles. There is also an Israeli Phantom or two. There are also many photographs, about two per page.
From Volume 2, each book starts with a voluminous Errata and Addenda section, usually reaching dozens of pages. This supplements all the previous volumes with corrections, but mostly with new photos, eyewitness accounts, and even color profiles.
These are by far the best books on Arab Air Forces in English, and probably in any language. My only complaint is that I wish the indexing was better. ( )
