Hawkeye (PB)
ISBN: 9781911667834
Author: Brigadier General Giora Even-Epstein Publisher: Grub Street
This fast-moving autobiography details the experiences of Giora Even-Epstein, who for more than thirty years, flew fighters for the Israel Air Force. Gaining the nickname ‘Hawkeye’ thanks to his amazing vision that enabled him to pick out enemy aircraft long before his squadron mates, Giora is recognised as the high-scoring jet-mounted ace with the greatest number of confirmed victories in the French Mirage. He also compiled a record of Arab MiGs and Sukhoi kills that bettered any other combat aviators’ tally in the entire world. With descriptions of flying in intense conflicts like the Six Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the reader shares the cockpit with Giora as he describes every action he undertook including the greatest jet-versus-jet air battle in history with four MiG-21 kills in one engagement. His final score was seventeen aerial victories. His story is of one man’s unfaltering dedication to his dreams and his country.
