The Avia Mezek is Czech built and based on the famous German fighter Messerschmitt Bf 109G. In May 1948 desperate for an answer to the enemy's rule of the skies, Israel bought 25 inferior Czech versions of the famed Luftwaffe fighter for the princely sum of $1.8 million. The IAF's first fighter made history immediately, stopping the Egyptian advance towards Tel-Aviv at Ashdod.
