Desert Air Battles:  a "semi what-if" collection of missions, built with Monty's TFM-412, level 27.
Fly for the Israeli Air Force, in missions spanning 1949 to 1973.

I admit to playing loose with historical accuracy in building these missions.  As far as I know, Israel didn't fly the Fiat G-55, the F-80C, or any model of the F-86 Sabre.  Nor did the Arab nations fly the Yak-9, the Pe-2, the B-25, or the Tu-95.
My objective was to make missions using only those planes that come with the TFM-412 mod pack.  I did try to keep planes in the period when they could have flown.  No Phantoms in 1949.
Also, for the 1967 missions, I had to use stand-ins.  For the 1967 missions, the F-86C becomes the Etendard IV, and the F-84G becomes the Ouragon fighter bomber.
Having said all that, I have tried to create interesting and fun missions for the IL2 family to fly.  I also attached a pack of skins, if anyone wishes to use them.  Some planes have suitable default skins, so skins for them are not included.
