Iranian Air Force at war (Iran - Iraq War 1980 - 88)

[Conslaw]

There are records of "Western Military Planes" Coming and going in 1979 - 1981. as well as several reported for VVS during that time frame, some related to the very famous incident! [that failed rescue mission, i meant].

I must admit I've never seen this side (or any side) of this conflict.

Tom Cooper is mostly credited as a co-author of a bunch of books about obscure conflicts. Unlike a number of aviation authors I have never seen any signs that he has given public talks about his books. Amazon.com
