Description: This is book of Zanek! A Chronicle of the Israeli Air Force by William Stevenson - 1971 Heavy Hardcover - RARE About:"ZANEK!" is the command used by Israeli fighter pilots, meaning "Go," "Jump take-off," or "Scramble!" With a title that reflects a sense of urgency, this book captures the real-time, personal stories of a courageous group of young men and women fighting against overwhelming odds for the survival of their small nation. In February 1970, author William Stevenson earned the trust of the Israeli Air Force, gaining unprecedented access to its facilities and personnel at all levels. In the tense months leading up to the August cease-fire, Stevenson collected raw material for ZANEK! inside headquarters, in cockpits and crewrooms, at technical institutes and training schools, and within homes, kibbutzim, and archives. Interwoven in this chronicle, which traces the Air Force’s development since 1948, is the gripping account of a young pilot shot down over Syria and his dramatic rescue fourteen hours later. All characters in this mission are based on real people, though some names have been changed for security. The book offers intimate glimpses into the individuals who helped shape what Stevenson calls the world’s first "guerrilla air force," revolutionizing aerial strategy through innovation and surprise rather than sheer firepower. As a former R.A.F. pilot, Stevenson vividly depicts intense dogfights between Russian supersonic jets and Israel’s outdated planes. Packed with anecdotes and fascinating facts, ZANEK! is an adventure story, a journalistic triumph, and a unique military and historical record. Stevenson’s portrayal is both timely and compassionate, highlighting a community of diverse individuals united by purpose, representing, as he writes, "a microcosm of what all men profess to seek."
