Overview
A richly illustrated and unique point of reference about one segment of modern aerial warfare in Yemen that remains entirely unknown until today. Following the Civil War of 1994, Yemen experienced few years of relative peace. until 2004, when the government opened the first of six campaigns against the movement colloquially known as 'Houthis'. The Yemeni Air Force partially reequipped over the previous years saw intensive involvement in this conflict, but proved insufficient. This book contains over 140 photographs, colour profiles, maps and extensive tables, Hot Skies over Yemen is a richly illustrated and unique point of reference. AUTHOR: 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. That 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. Except for authoring and co-authoring more than 30 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 a regular correspondent for multiple defence-related publications. 8pp colour profiles & colour photos, 114 b/w photos, 6 maps, 5 tables
