The Israel Air Force (IAF) has accumulated as much battle
experience as any air force in the world during the post-Second
World War era, and it has recorded many outstanding accomplishments
throughout a seemingly endless string of interstate wars,
asymmetrical wars, counterinsurgency campaigns, and special
operations. This book examines the IAF's experience in the
ArabIsraeli conflict from the establishment of Israel in 1948 to
the present day. It analyses this experience through the prisms of
manoeuvre warfare, attrition warfare, counterinsurgency warfare,
special operations, and humanitarian operations. The book reviews
the IAF's performance in such wars as the 1967 Six-Day War, the
196970 War of Attrition, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the 2006 Second
Lebanon War, and the 20089 Gaza War. The book also scrutinizes the
IAF's participation in major counterinsurgency campaigns and
special operations, traces the air force's experience with unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs), which have occupied a very prominent place
in air operations since the 1982 Lebanon War, and chronicles its
experience with anti-aircraft defences and satellites. Up-to-date
information on the IAF's bases, squadrons, and other infrastructure
is provided as well. The book is based on personal visits to the
IAF over the past few years, during which the author had the
opportunity to tour bases, listen to lectures and briefings, and
speak with numerous retired, reserve, and active duty officers.
