Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. Following a career in the 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 specialisation in such Middle Eastern air forces as of those of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, plus various African and Asian air forces. As well as authoring and co-authoring more than 50 books - including an in-depth analysis of major Arab air forces at wars with Israel in period 1955-1973 - and over 1000 articles, Cooper is editor of Helion's five @War series. Milos Sipos is a Slovakian military historian. While pursuing a career in the law, he has collected extensive documentation on inter-connected political, industrial, human resources and military-related affairs in Iran, Iraq, and Syria. His core interest is a systematic approach to studies of their deep impacts upon combat efficiency and the general performance of local militaries. After more than 10 years of related work on the ACIG.info forum, he co-authored the much-acclaimed book Iraqi Mirages: The Dassault Mirage Family in Service with the Iraqi Air Force.
"...carries the Iraqi air force through the 1973 war and the war
with Iran, with attacks on the Kurds in between."-- "Historical

"The authors of this series have very much done their homework in
regards to this subject. We get a look at not only the equipment
and men who flew the planes, but also the politics behind the
choices as well as the way the service was run."--

"Highly recommended."-- "AMPS Indianapolis"
