Angels in the Sky: The Birth of Israel Air Force

"Angels in the Sky," a story focused on foreign pilots who fought during Israel's War for Independence, is gaining momentum. The story is set in 1948 in the wake of Israel's declaration of independence, which triggered a nine-month war waged by five Arab nations. Overseas pilots and their crews, dubbed the Machal, made up most of the fledgling Israeli Air Force that turned the tide in Israel's favor.
