I am not too up on my history of that region, but I did read of American volunteer pilots who flew for Israel after WW2 against Egypt, one of em being Chris Magee from VMF 214 (Blacksheep). He said they started out flying BF109s at first (which he made the comment, "bet ole Willy Messerschmit is rolling over in his grave knowing Jews were flying his birds " anyhow, I am working on a campaign for that era, if you find anything on the 6 day war, maybe I can tie it into mine, good luck and good hunting

The plane in question was the Avia S199. Whilst this was a development of the 109G as such, it was built after WW2 with a different engine/propellor and other changes, it wasn't quite the same aeroplane, and its flying qualities were universally scorned.
