America Akbar with Gadi Adelman & Dee the Crimson Warrior

This Thursday Gadi and Dee are excited to welcome Jeffery Weiss the author of "I Am My Brother's Keeper: American Volunteers in Israels War for Independence 1947-1949". The book is based on recently declassified documents and more than two hundred interviews, I Am My Brothers Keeper tells the story of the more than one thousand Americans and Canadians, Jews and non-Jews, who fought in Israels War of Independence. Upon the partition of Palestine in 1948, the Jewish side semiclandestinely raised funds, bought planes, and recruited pilots for its yet-to-be-created air force. About 1,000 Americans and Canadians with combat experience volunteered, and they flew an eclectic collection of aircraft left over from World War II.
