This new book by noted Israeli modeller and Israeli Air Force modeller is soft-cover, and contains 133 color photographs and 134 black and white photos and 15 colour profiles on 83 glossy pages.

This is not a walkaround detail book, instead it is a book focusing on the colours and marking of the Israeli air Force from 1947 to 2005 with the use of photos and text.  Many of the photos are vintage photos.

This book doesn't just talk about the colours of the Israeli Air Force, but it also tells the amazing history of the Israeli Air Force from it's very humble beginnings to it's current dominant success story that it is today.

The book is arranged into seven chapters:

  • 1)   1947-1955 & War of Independence
  • 2)   1955-1957 & the Suez War
  • 3)   1957-1967 & the Six Day War
  • 4)   1967-1970 & the war of Attrition
  • 5)   1970-1973 & the Yom-Kippur War
