The definitive series continues
The third volume in Tom Cooper and David Nicolle's groundbreaking series covers the Arab air forces during the 1967 War, with some inevitable coverage of pre- and post-war topics. As with the first two volumes, every page has revelations, new information, never-before-seen photographs and original research. In its efforts to be balanced and sympathetic towards the Arab side, some readers will likely take issue with some of the bigger-picture political analysis, but this should not dissuade the reader who already has a decent understanding of the Arab-Israeli wars.My only minor complaints are the same as for the first two volumes: More maps, color profiles, and tables of organization would be nice.But overall, these books constitute truly revolutionary research and superb access to original sources. Additionally, they're extremely well produced, with great binding, layout, editing, etc. I'm not sure how long this series will continue (will it go past the 1973 War, for example?) but I'll continue buying new volumes as long as my shelf can support their weight.

Good book.
I got this book a few months ago and I'm starting with Vol 3 but that is no problem. The first couple of pages talk about Vol 1 and 2 fixes or new information. Volume 3 focuses more on the Arab side and there's lots of pilot stories. It's broken down by country, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq,etc...sadly, the Middle East has had quite a few conflicts and coverage has been spotty or very one sided. This series I think will do great in showing a more balanced view and does do a good job of removing some of rumors and mistakes, exaggerations that happen in any conflict.As noted, a few more maps would have been great.I can't wait to buy the previous volumes and from what I have seen so far and heard from my fellow aviation enthusiasts about this series and companion series from the same publishing house, I will buy more of these books!
