Israel's Air Force Described on TY
as Superb Team With Limited Means
An air force that is considered
by many experts to be the best in
the world, yet whose pilots are an
average age of 24, was shown on
NBC's "First Tuesday" documen-
tary series this week.
The program on the Israeli Air
Force, the IAF, was the result of
a month's filming in Israel. Pro-
ducer Bob Rogers had seen the
IAF in action during the Six-Day
War and was determined to find
out "what made these guys so
good."
Rogers found that "probably the
underlying factor that lets every-
thing else happen is a sense of
unity and determination. Building
on that, which is common to most
Israelis, as far as I can tell, and
certainly common to the armed
forces, the IAF has managed to
turn its very limited means into a
superb fighting force."
Again and again, the "limited
means" were shown—how some
of the aircraft, castoffs from
other national air forces, are
older than the pilots who fly it;
how young men of 16 voluntarily
start ground crew training with
complicated aircraft whose parts
are of two systems, American
and British; bow skilled work-
ers improvise in an emergency;
how each $3,500,000 Phantom
jet, paid for in hard cash, is
considered "a national treasure."
The program marked the first
time a non-Israeli journalist has
been allowed to film a jet squad
exercise in the air. The exact size
of the IAF and the graduating
class at the Israeli Flight School
are closely guarded secrets, ac-
cording to Rogers, but both are
small, emphasizing "quality over
quantity."
The pilots, considered heroes to
the Israeli people, are trained in
their "prime"—age 18. But by
that age they have had two years
of training as volunteers in tech-
nical school At an even younger
age, boys join the "Gadna Avir"—
Air Youth—in which they study
principles of aerodynamics and
other subjects.
It was pointed out that of 300
young men who are drafted, per-
haps "one good pilot" will emerge.
Only a small percentage of flight
school trainees ever graduate from
the tough curriculum; as a flight
or can Mrs. E. Stone.

instructor put it, "We have the
biggest washout rate in the world."
He added: "We're not the happy-
go-lucky air force some people
think we are.... We're not much
on spit and polish ... but we are
disciplined."
As they begin training, it was
shown, the young men are im-
pressed with the great impor-
tance of their mission. They are
reminded of what happened in
Auschwitz, and what the sur-
vival of Israel means.
The air force is so small, it is
like a tightly knit family, said one
young pilot, who compared his
feelings upon completion of his
first mission to "having a Bar
Mitzva." The Israeli pilot, he said,
knows that the world "won't lift
a finger for us, so we must do our
best ... It is a hard way to live."
Rogers described the pilots as
neither cocky, complacent nor wor-
ried. "They are merely deter-
mined."
