In 1947 he returned to Palestine, where he bombed Arab positions by dropping hand grenades from a Piper Cub. Weizman took over the air force in 1958 and fought for appropriations against tank-minded generals in order to build it into the superb offensive weapon that knocked out the Arab air forces within the first hours...
