...months after the departure of U.S. and British forces from Lebanon and Jordan, the Middle East is undergoing a political sea change. A strong, unexpected and menacing Communist current is running through the streets of Baghdad, proving that during the 40 years of British-backed strong-man rule in Iraq the Communists were able to develop and harden the best-organized apparatus in the Middle East.

Revell engineers hunted for information and photos so diligently for the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter model that when Revell forwarded its drawings to the company for approval, they were too authentic; a secret stamp was slapped on them until the Air Force cleared vital details a month later. For the Russian T-34 tank model, Revell badgered the Israeli army into sending drawings and details of Soviet T-34s the Egyptians had abandoned in the Sinai desert...
