On the first day of the 6-day war, the Israeli airforce mission was to wipe out the Egyptian airforce.
This mission was based on an excellent intelligence work and was trained for years.
In the morning of June 5th (first day of the 6-day war), 183 first-wave aircrafts took-off, they attacked and destroyed 11 Egyptian airfields, 8 RADAR stations, and 189 Egyptian aircrafts on the ground.
94 Egyptian aircrafts, many runways, and RADAR stations were destroyed during the second-wave attack.
I the thrid-wave, the Israeli jets also attacked in Jordan and Syria (cuz the war started there), the Jordanian airforce was destroyed, and half of the Syrian airforce was destroyed.
In the last wave, 93 arab aircrafts were destroyed.
so totaly, 376 arab aircrafts were destroyed that day, and most of the arab airfields were paralyzed.
Israel began the war with total air supremacy.
Yeh, really interesting and amazing 😀

Lord no!
We timid, propellor-driven types would never venture over to AFM.
Far too scary!.
LoL! You want an example just have a look at the worst planes ever thread on AFMs forum which has them flaming each other over F16s, F104s, and Brewster Buffalos!
There is just too much hate there for one forum!!! – Nermal

There is a substantial amount of information available out there, not nearly as much as the book covers, but a whole lot nonetheless. First and foremost there is the IDF/AF’s official website at http://www.iaf.org.il . Its English version is currently offline (it’s been redesigned recently, they’re just testing the Hebrew version now) , but it’s very extensive. The people at ACIG occasionaly dwell on the subject, as well as other forums dedicated to the IDF and IDF/AF. Trying us Israelis over at AFM is not such a bad idea either …

Since Kyle is Israeli, his best course of action would be to lay his hands on a copy of a “Like A Bolt Out of the Blue”, a 400 page book by Dani Shalom dedicated entirely to operation Moked.
