Abstract

ABSTRACT The Israeli and Jordanian air forces were established during the 1948 war. While the Israeli air force did not enjoy prestige, the Jordanian air force enjoyed substantial budgets from its inception. However, in all the skirmishes it faced against the Israeli air force in the 1960s and in the 1967 war it suffered defeat. In addition to the lack of training and skill of the Jordanian pilots, the main reason for this was the lack of loyalty of the Jordanian pilots to the Hashemite regime, which hindered the development of the Jordanian air force prior to the 1967 war.
