This new hard cover book
is written by owner of IsraDecal
and noted
Israeli Air Force modeller Ra'anan Weiss and Alon
Koren. This soft-cover book that contains over 520 never before
published photographs and 14 specially commissioned color profiles on 130 glossy
pages.
This
informative photo rich book covers the fascinating and poignant story of
the F-15's in Israeli Air Force service from the mid 70's right up to the
present day.
This book is rich in photos of
the F-15 in all the areas that interest modellers....including history and
in-flight photos as well as the walkaround photos modellers crave so much.
But for me, one page stood out
and showed how far the Israeli Air Force has come since it's birth.
The book covers the following
areas.
- The early
years and initial training.
- The
pilots.
- The aerial
combats over Lebanon in which over 50 Syrian Air Force MiG-21/23/25 variants
were shot down between 1979 and 1985.
- The
longest combat mission of the IAF. The 1985 attack against the PLO in Tunis.
- Photo -
Reconnaissance F-15's for vertical and oblique photography.
- Experimental
camouflage and 'aggressor' color schemes.
- Weapon
systems.
- Cockpits
and walk - around.
- Overseas
deployments.
The final section is 14 colour
pages containing 107 colour photos covering the cockpit, exhausts, pods
underside
details, weapons, and the airframe.
