When Our Allies Were Our Enemies

This was shot at the start of the 1973 Day of Atonement War; the MiGs were being launched against the Israeli forces that were occupying the Sinai side of the Suez Canal.
One of those MiGs is now in the collection of the National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton OH. It was presented to the USAF in the Eighties as a symbol of the new friendship and cooperation between Egypt and the United States.
I'm researching MiG-17s because of a pending scale model project.
