Reviews

'For the military historian, the aircraft enthusiast and the modeller this is another interesting read. Another book from Helion Books which I can heartily recommend. * Military Model Scene *
There is a great range of very rare photographs of aircraft and their crews backed up by some excellent colour profileshighly recommended. * Military Modelling *
"If you're interested in the lesser known Air Forces, and conflicts of the war this is to be recommended. * Army Rumour Service *
Hot Skies is an engrossing read, but also offers considerable inspiration for aircraft modellers. Highly recommended. * Airfix Model World *
Book will come handy not only as the source of photo-material, but also as a decent history publication for those who would like to know more. * DetailScaleView *
From a modelling perspective there's a great selection of period images and excellent colour profiles (also by the author) featuring Hawker Hunters, Strikemasters and Yemen operated Russian MiG-21s, Su-22s and MiG-17s in some fantastic schemes which offer a great alternative from the norm. * Air Modeller *
"Illuminating. Informative. And entertaining. That's Cooper's scintillating survey. I loved it. And I can't wait to start its sequel. Robustly recommended!" -- David L. Veres * Cybermodeler *

Author Bio

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. This has resulted in specialization 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 about a dozen of titles for Helions @War series - and over 1000 articles, Cooper is a regular correspondent for multiple defense-related publications.
