Review
“Whether you are a Hunter fan or have an interest in Middle Eastern aviation history, then this book is one that you must include in your book collection.” (Aviation Enthusiast Book Club)“A great book for all Hunter fans, those interested in Middle Eastern affairs and general historians alike will enjoy every page of this book.” (Military Modelling)“A very detailed history of the Hunter's service after it left the RAF as a fighter that will be of interest to many, although perhaps not quite mainstream due to the subject matter. The wealth of information, data and of course the significant quantity of pictorial information held within the book will doubtless be enticing for any modellers or aviation enthusiasts that are curious as to the fate of those airframes. Highly recommended.” (Britmodeller)“Coverage includes dozens of unique photos/images – and not just of Hawker Hunters… Hobbyists will love co-author Cooper's always-excellent artwork… Rabidly recommended!” (Cybermodeler)“ … The book comes up beautifully in its accounts of the battles waged and the first combat for this classic British fighter.” (Flightpath Magazine)“....this volume is both overdue and welcome. The text is detailed, well researched and makes extensive use of endnotes“ (Aeroplane)

About the Author
Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. Following a career in worldwide the transportation business – during which he established a network of contacts in the Middle East and Africa – he moved into narrow-focus analysis and writing on small, little-known air forces and conflicts, about which he has collected extensive archives. That resulted in a specialisation in such Middle Eastern air forces as of those of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, plus various African and Asian air forces. As well as authoring and co-authoring more than 30 books - including an in-depth analysis of major Arab air forces at wars with Israel in the period 1955-1973 - and over 1,000 articles, Cooper is a regular correspondent for multiple defence-related publications.Patricia Salti - from Great Britain - is a widow of Jordanian national hero and Hawker Hunter pilot 1st Lt Muwaffaq Salti, who was killed in an air combat with Israeli interceptors in November 1966. Over the last 40 years, she has developed into a leading historian of the Royal Jordanian Air Force. Her exclusive contacts and insights enabled her to write a number of official publications and also to cooperate in the project that resulted in the Arab MiGs book series.

The softcover book is more than a history of the Hawker Hunter, but includes histories of the Iraqi and Jordanian air forces thru the Arab-Israeli '67 war, and years following that the Hunter served in the Iraqi air force (including after the Iraqi regime turned to the Soviet Union for aircraft).What is unique is that the Hunter, essentially a ground attack aircraft design of the mid-50s (in Iraq), t was also the first aircraft of its type to engage in a number air combats with Israeli air force, including both Mirages and Vautour aircraft designs.In both the Jordanian and Iraqi air forces, the RAF was replicated closely, from initial flight training to administration. This influence began in the 1930s and carried over post-World War Two. One immediate result was a propensity to order British aricraft designs throughout the '50s and '60s. This resulted in more than ordering Hawker Hunter aircraft, but include Vampire and Venon fighter-bombers, and a range of ex-RAF transports, trainers, and other light aircraft.The first Iraqi Hunter's arrived in late-1956, and orders continued throughout the following years. Jordan's history begins as an outgrowth of Arab League air force's light aircraft, followed in September 1955 with donated, ex-RAF Vampire FB. Mk.9s. In the wake of the 1958 formation of the United Arab Republic (UAR), a union of Egypt and Sryia, both Iraq and Jordan were hard pressed to not join the pan-Arab political union (even it was a "union" in name only).Shortly after the UAR was formed, the U.S. offered package military aid to Iraq (much as it had to Egypt), that would have included 36 Sabrejet, plus F-84G Thunderjet fighter-bombers and numerous training and transport aircraft. The bonds with the RAF traditions were so strong, this offer was turned down byRIrAF CinC, Maj-Gen. Abadi. One has to wonder what the future of both Egyptian and Iraq air forces (and military in general) would have been had the U.S. Eisenhower administration offer been accepted.What also stands out in this book is the total different attitude toward Iraq and supplying aircraft (and other weapons), compared to the persistent embargoes of Hunters and other aircraft toward Egypt, throughout the Fifties. Leads one to conclude some very strong pro-Israeli lobby dominated Antony Eden and other major British politicians.The various political coups (Tammuz Revolution and afterwards) are documented and their impact on Iraq and its air force, eventually resulting in the demise of the former British-influenced officer corps of the air force, replaced by their "new friends", the communists of the Soviet Union. Jordanian-Syrian border tensions, Lebanon tensions, and coups in the following years are documented, while orders for the Hunter aircraft continued in both air forces.The June 1967 war is covered in detail, where the Hunters of the Jordanian air force were wiped out early on at Mafraq air base (the only full service base of RJAF). Iraq's operations are detailed, including air combat around H-3+ airfield, Iraqi's Tu-16 (Badger) and Hunter air attacks into northern Israel (Kfar Sirkin and Netanya air base). Included in detail are pilot interviews and impressions of the air combat between Iraqi Hunters and Mig-21F-13/PFM (Fishbed C/D) and Israeli Mirages IIICJ and Vautour IIA/IIN aircraft. Both sides lost aircraft, though Israel continue to claim otherwise (always the very best propaganda!). This is a highly readable book, well written, and a treasure for any Hawker Hunter fan!Highly Recommended!
This was a well written and documented book, with some excellent photographs of the Hawker Hunter. As a pilot that has flown the Hunter, I really appreciated the quality of the photos and the written material.
Fantastic resource
