If you haven't seen this, please find a way to. I bought this as a gift for a Friend who is preparing to go to Israel. This is a thorough telling of the amazing story of the beginning of modern Israel AND the Israeli Air Force. Complete with original newsreel footage and detailed interviews with those who were there, the recreation and telling of the story is vivid and moving. There are also special features, as well. It fascinated me how they used a handful of leftover German junk planes pieced together with the wrong engines to take on that whole part of the world to keep their land... and won! A true underdog story... Produced by Nancy Spielberg, the youngest Sister of Steven, this really is a must-see for anyone interested in History,Aviation,Israel... or really- just Life! This story really should be made into a Feature Length Film. Gripping,entertaining and fast-moving,it gets 5 Stars,for sure! 👀 👅Read full review

The course of history is often changed significantly by human effort and events that fade into obscurity after the great battles are over. Above & Beyond tells the story of a handful of WWII veterans, American patriots, men who were willing to risk their lives again so that Israel could survive. This is their story. Pilots who flew aircraft salvaged from the scrap pile, delivering decisive blows against overwhelming enemy forces advancing on the new state of Israel in 1948. From the skies these brave pilots brought food, weapons, ammunition, medical supplies to outnumbered Israelis. From the skies, volunteer pilots dove their Spitfires onto advancing enemy armies. This is their story. The pilots who brought Israel a miracle from the clouds. This is history from above.

Shortly after World War II ended, the British withdrew from the Middle East and fighting began between the Muslems and Jews. This story tells how Israel used surplus WWII planes to create their air force, and win their independence. Amazing stories of bravery, sacrifice, bold moves, ingenuity, and a burning desire for freedom.
