On a single morning, almost the entire IAF was committed to a surprise, preemptive airstrike against the air forces of the encircling Arab states. The attack was extraordinarily successful. Hundreds of Arab aircraft were destroyed, their airfields crippled, and the IAF gained almost complete air supremacy for the rest of the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472835277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.20w x 0.20d","brand":"Shlomo Aloni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271863730357,"sku":"9781472835277","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9d662c4a-dc11-43d8-aa88-f56349542b0c.jpg?v=1699957851","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/six-day-war-1967-operation-focus-and-the-12-hours-that-changed-the-middle-east-9781472835277","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
