Egyptian MiG-19s In Combat, Part 1

In early 1960s, Egypt acquired MiG-19s from Soviet Union. Those were the first true supersonic fighters in the Egyptian Force and in Arab countries generally. The first encounter with the Israeli Air Force took place in 1966 but the Six Day War of 1967 would prove to be the ultimate challenge for the Soviet fighter in Egyptian service.
