Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. Following a career in worldwide transportation business - during which he established a network of contacts in the Middle East and Africa - he moved into narrow-focus analysis and writing on small, little-known air forces and conflicts, about which he has collected extensive archives. This has resulted in specialization in such Middle Eastern air forces as of those of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, plus various African and Asian air forces. Except for authoring and co-authoring more than 30 books - including about a dozen of titles for Helion's @War series - and over 1000 articles, Cooper is a regular correspondent for multiple defense-related publications.
"...an accessible book for nonspecialists and a valuable reference
for seasoned analysts of Russian foreign and security policy."--
"The Middle East Journal"
"The research that went into this one is superb. We are able to
follow the flow of events to see just how everything panned out.
Add to it the usual excellent choice of photos and the color
profiles and maps that are standard fare for this series, and you
have a book well worth reading."-- "ModelingMadness.Com"
"...provides great references in the form of color photos of
vehicles, equipment, environment and uniforms."-- "AMPS"
"...will be of interest to modelers and aviation historians
alike."-- "AMPS Indianapolis"
