There was a movie made in the mid 60s, starring Kirk Douglas, that was based upon a U.S. Army Colonel that went over to the IDF after WWII and became their first general. I cannont remember his name.
once knew a man that had a farm we used to visit. he joined the air force in ww2 but the war ended before his training was over. he voluntered for the israli air force. told us many stories. quite a nice fellow.
Cast a giant shadow.Great movie.
