In 2008 I found, in a file of Gabriel Shamir (which has been in my possession for 15-years), a letter from Colonel Peleg Tamir, head of Air Force personnel administration. Tamir thanks my father for designing combat sheets during the period of readiness and combat in the Six Day War. I approached the Air Force museum – they did not have them. I turned to the IDF archive – did not have them but referred me to the Air Force magazine.

I contacted them and got a positive reply: “The 1967 Combat Bulletins are in our offices at our headquarters,in Tel Aviv”. The editor, Lior Astlin, invited me to scan the Bulletins. When I arrived, I saw on his wall a Philatelic Service poster announcing the Air Force stamps, signed: Shamir.

The combat bulletins are bound together with an exterior cover which I recognised right away, but the pages, all signed by Shamir, were new to me.

They were too large for the scanner. The editor got his photographer to take pictures of the sheets. I forwarded her disk to Shenkar

Few years later Shamir Brothers designed a 240 page book, "The Israel Air Force", published by the Ministry of Defense. it was a formidable project
