Sent to me by my Navy buddy from days of youth, Jim Dear. Jim lives in Texas and was nice enough to share this with me. A GREAT BIT OF HISTORY, NOT KNOWN BY MANY On Monday, April 7, 2014, Robert Crowley wrote: This short video (an ad for an upcoming documentary) holds the key to Israels survival as a nation back in May 1948. The Arab nations were within 10 miles of Tel Aviv, with a 10,000 man force, ready to totally destroy the new country of Israel. All that stood in the way were four Messerschmitt BF-109s left behind by the Nazis in the Czech Republic, hurriedly assembled in hangers and never test flown, and piloted by volunteer American (Jewish) pilots. I cant wait to see the documentary. I hope you enjoy this short video. A TRUE STORY, NOT KNOWN BY MANY . . . The only FOUR (4) Airplanes Israel had when the War of Independence (May 1948) began were smuggled in from Czech Republic. They were German Messerschmitt bf-109s. They were assembled overnight in Tel Aviv and were never flight tested. This is a short video about their pilots. Watch it. You will not be disappointed. vimeo/54400569
