In 1948, a group of World War II pilots volunteered to fight for
Israel in the War of Independence. As members of 'Machal' --
volunteers from abroad -- this ragtag band of brothers not only
turned the tide of the war, preventing the possible annihilation of
Israel at the very moment of its birth; they also laid the
groundwork for the Israeli Air Force. ABOVE AND BEYOND is their
story. The first major feature-length documentary about the foreign
airmen in the War of Independence, ABOVE AND BEYOND 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. -- per imdb.
