Why isn't the Israeli attack on the Egyptian AF to start the Six Day war
listed?

Cuz I didn't think of it in the twenty minutes I took from taking the idea
in my head to flowing the electrons onto the internet.

It's definitely a good candidate I didn't think of along with 9-11 or
Taranto.


After their AF was destroyed on the ground the Egyptians ordered
their troops on the border to retreat, which was most likely a mistake,
and they were slaughtered by the Israelis as they withdrew. Eliminating
Egypt so quickly allowed the Israelis to fight a 3 front war one front
at a time.
