Book on Israel's victory to be published soon ■f“ t ' s ! il1 ', .. Wall Street Chatter
NEW YORK UPI—Israeli’e air war against Egypt is described by a leading military historian as “without doubt the greatest gamble with the largest payoff in the history of military aviation.” This assessment is made by Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall (Ret.) in his forthcoming book on the six-day Israeli-Arab war. Entitled “Swift Sword—The Historical Record of Israeli’s Victory, June 1967,” the book will be published by American Heritage publishing company and United Press International on Aug. 14. Marshall says Israel’s gamble lay in the fact that the entire weight of her air force was hurled against Egypt in the opening hour of the war, with virtually nothing kept in reserve to defend Israel itself against Egypt’s partners. “Only 1* fighting aircraft were left at the Tel Aviv bases to defend Israel," he says. “None was put up as a screen
to the north or east and when at last that was deemed advisable, only eight took to the
air.”
Marshall says the “master- j mind” of this plan was Brig. I Gen. Mordecai Hod, 40, the air force commander. Hod, he says, inhertited from his predecessors an air force that "weight for weight was probably the most effective fighting machine anywhere” but that “Hod was the man with the bif idea.” Marshall says Hod’s strategy for gambling all on one massive air strike against Egypt was accepted only with considerable opposition. “His political superiors, and some of the generals, looked askance,” Marshall said. “The plan was too bold; should it fail, ruin could result” But it did not fail and Hod’s principal his calculation, Marshall said, was in being too conservative in estimating the prowess of his pilots or the reaction of the Egyptians.
Hod figured it would take the Egyptians “one hour to assess what had happened and a second hour to agree on what could be done about it.” “Instead of a lag of two hours," Marshall says, “the Egyptians gave him four. Long before that it was over.” So far as the Israeli pilots go, Marshall writes: “Hod learned that he had sorely underestimated the resources of his men and their machines. He had expected three to four sorties a day from teh average pilot; he got an average of seven, and some went as high as 10. “He figured the standard of gunnery established in peacetime training would drop during combat; instead, it rose. : He anticipated that the serviceability of aircraft would slip i steadily downward once fight- | ing started.
