ABOVE AND BEYOND is their story. The first major feature-length documentary about the foreign airmen in the War of Independence| ABOVE ANDBEYOND brings together new interviews with pilots from the '48 War| as well as leading scholars and statesmen| including Shimon Peres| to present an extraordinary|little-known tale with reverberations up to the present day.
