Wars have been fought throughout the ages; at no period, however. In history has there been such phenomenal progress in the development of new equipment as during the present half century needless to add, on account of the unprecedented pace of scientific and technological advancement; for instance, until the beginning of the present century, the mobility and fire-power of the defence forces were very limited and they had no mechanization. tanks, mortars, shaped charges, atomic and guided missiles,  chemical, microbiological and psychological warfare, wireless communications, electronic devices, radar, magnetic, acoustic and oyster mines, to mention only a few  and above all they lacked our colleagues of the third Service, namely, the Air Force.
