wikipedia Wrote:At the outbreak of the war on 15 May, the SA became the Israeli Air Force. With its fleet of light planes it was no match for Arab forces during the first few weeks of the war with their T-6s, Spitfires, C-47s and Avro Ansons. In the first few weeks of the war, the Israelis' light airplanes bombed Arab encampments and columns. The raids were usually carried out at night to avoid interception. These raids usually had little effect, except on morale.
These were not war planes. Not at the start of the war. They were light civilian planes who couldn't do much.
However, as I said, the Jews were prepared for the day of independence, and pre-purchased arms soon arrived from Czechoslovakia and elsewhere to turn the tide of war.
I guess the Jews are evil for having some foresight.
The Arabs of Palestine were not as organized, did not plan ahead, did not declare their own independence or rule of this area, they just attacked - and called the armies of the neighboring nations to help. Did you look at the sizes of the Iraqui, Egyptian, and Jordanian armies and airforces? Can you honestly say Israel swept in with superior military might to take over?
