Press Review: It isn't that often that we get a detail
photo book on the most modern IAF aircraft to enter service, but
thanks to the reputation and diligence of the author, Ra'anan Weiss,
we have THE walkaround book on the new F-16I 'Sufa' (Storm). The
book starts with a brief history of the type, and brief it has to
be as it has only been in service a couple of years. This section
also includes a number of excellent full views of various aircraft
with both the Bat and Negev squadrons. It also includes images of
the aircraft in its delivery scheme without the CFTs that are part
of the standard suite of the F-16I. In order to comply with security
requirements, the faces of the pilots have been distorted to make
them unidentifiable. This hasn't been extended to the higher ranking
IAF officers or the ground crews, which I guess are not considered
targets. There then follows page after page of superb color photography,
covering every nook, cranny and panel on the F-16I. This includes
close detail photographs of the various weapons and stores carried
by the Sufa. In fact, the entire book is in full color, and that
includes several color profiles. It is almost impossible to find
anything about this book that I don't like. It has been well thought
out, provides more detail on the plane than most of us will ever
need and makes for a fascinating read as well. Hard to believe it
is the first in the 'Aircraft in Details' series and makes me wonder
how they can possibly top it. This is the finest publication yet
available on the type. A MUST for enthusiasts of the IAF and for
any modeler who wants to accurately portray the type in plastic.
Most highly recommended.
