About this title

Synopsis

This sequel to "Spitfires over Israel" continues the story of the struggle for the skies over the Middle East. It covers the military expansion of Egypt and Israel, the Sinai War, the Anglo-French build-up and the bloody road to Suez, culminating in the air and seaborne invasions of November 1956.

Review

"'Records the dazzling flying of the Fleet Air Arm pilots and the professionalism of their carrier-based crews who played the lead role in winning a war in 5 days.' The Western Mail 'Fascinating experiences, vividly brought to life.' Western Gazette 'Vivid descriptions fly out of the pages, with a stunning selection of photographs.' Flypast 'Well worth reading as one of the last gasps of Empire in which air power won the day, but politicians lost the war.' Air Pictorial"
