When you are fighting for your life and the existence of your adopted country, you'll use anything you can get your hands on, including an iron-knee! Most of those pilots were American, as well as some of the sabras (native-born Israelis). The former not only risked their lives, but their American citizenship, which could have been revoked for their serving in a foreign military. IIRC, the Haganah also was able to get ahold of some P-51's via South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
