Israel acquired sixty-one Dassault Mystere IVA combat aircraft from France that were delivered to the Israeli Air Force from April to September 1956 and were issued to two units: Squadron 101 at Hatzor- in the south- and Squadron 109 at Ramat David- in the north. From 1956 until 1959- and to a lesser extent from 1959 until 1962- the Mystere was the ILAFs cutting-edge interceptor. From 1959- the Mysteres main mission shifted from air-to-air to air-to-ground- as more modern interceptors-Super Mystere from 1959 and Mirage from 1962-entered Israeli Air Force service. At the same time- the Israeli Air Force initiated an effort to introduce an attack aircraft to succeed the Mystere. The Squadron 109 Mystere era therefore covered mostly air-to-air from 1956 until 1962 and mostly air-to-ground from 1962 until 1968....
