This book is a history of the Israeli Air Force from December 2004 to October 2005. Each chapter covers one month and is made up of several small sections that has informative text illustrated with captioned photographs.
To give you an idea of the content I will concentrate on the month of June 2005. This chapter starts with the introduction of the Golfstream V Nachshon into Israeli service. The next section covers the activation of a new F-16 squadron - the "Red Dragon" squadron which is a dedicated aggressor unit whose dragon tail are combined with red fuel tanks makes for a very atractive subject. The final section deals with the graduation of class 150 on air force day and features aircraft that carried out displays for the occasion including the IAI upgraded Magister, F-15I, C-130, F-16, AH-1 and UH-60.

The quality of the photographs is to a very high standard. If an aircraft serves in the IAF you will find a photograph of it in this book, which includes a section on the historic flight's celebrated black spitfire and the use of UAV's.
I am hoping that the publisher will make this an annual and I recommend it very highly to anyone with an interest in modern day IAF.
