This title is the first in a new series dedicated to the most important aircraft operated by the Israel Air Force. The series starts with an iconic aircraft which is also a myth in the aviation world: The F-15 eagle. The book, which collects unpublished photos and information, is divided into several chapters dedicated to the debut of the aircraft, its use in both peacetime and during wartime operations with the first line squadrons, as well as its participation in several international air exercises. In addition to several colour profiles, the book offers more than 500 photos
many of great interest, rare and unpublished, coming from private archives
that show all the aircrafts operated, serial number by serial number. The book has been prepared by Amos Dor, a well-known Israeli author, and is the result of years of research. AUTHOR: Amos Dor was born in 1958 in Tel-Aviv, Israel. His father served in the IAF between 1950-1954 and later, for many years, as a civilian in the IAF and the Israel Aircraft Industries, in various positions. No wonder that Amos breathed IAF and it’s legends - which are real - since his cradle days, which is about when he started to build plastic models. Later on he graduated from the IAF technical school and served as an A-4 Skyhawk mechanic between 1977- 1980 in the Flying Wing Squadron. He then continued as a reservist in the same squadron until 1982, when he converted to the F-16. He is the author of a series of books on the history and heritage of the IAF. His articles, IAF aircraft profiles artwork and photos are published regularly in professional aviation magazines around the world. Today he lives in Milano, Italy, with his wife and children. 500 illustrations
