::::i believe, i would be happy to work for improving the article with u. but actually we were not told no thing about nothing.....all of what that stupid history book is telling is stopping at the 6th of ctober, not mentioning the libyan-egyptian boarder war, neither the egyptian participation in the frst gulf war, and ofcourse not even hinting to the presence of some thing called the yemen war. insteed some stupid roman and greek history, and mythologies that have nothing to do with egypt. back to our issue here, i ment that the allies had to gain the complete air supemacy to win the war, i realy think that no one disagree with that, also i knew about the 67, and 73 from mainly western sources -thanks to the greek-roman history book entiteled history for egyptian secondry school-. u may find this strange, but i for one donot trust the govenrmental history books. at the end, u can read about the battle from here http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_266.shtml 
 and there it is even mentioned in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Mansurah 
 i am planning to make an article for it, but i donot have enough time to make a good wikipedian article about it. maybe u can help?
