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.
“Cooper capably tells the tragic tale. Photos, maps, tables and
annotations augment text. The author’s excellent color plates of
participating aircraft and vehicles will really rouse your modeling
muse. And a concise “conclusion”, acronym glossary and selected
bibliography complete contents. Few have so illumined Third World
conflicts as Tom Cooper. His incandescent insights perfectly
complement Helion’s splendid “Africa@War” series. And I thoroughly
enjoyed this absorbing account.”
