Abstract
This article focuses on the description and analysis of Operation Nickel Grass – the American airlift to Israel during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The lessons learned from this venture had a decisive impact on subsequent American political and strategic planning policies globally and especially vis-à-vis the Middle East. Furthermore, and just as crucial, it totally transformed US–Saudi relations. The object lessons of this important Cold War big power confrontation and its long-range impact on US–Middle East relations are at the core of this study.
