In the appendices of the book - Sir James Martin by Sarah Sharman there is a listing of over 6000 successful ejections using Martin-Baker Ejection Seats. January 1973 begins with a list of 44 Classified ejections. The details of these are not available from Martin-Baker. It is unlikley that there were so many
ejections on one day when looking at ejection statistics. From conversations with sources in Israel it is known that a composite list of ejections were reported from 1973 and previous conflicts and accidents. It is therefore reasonable to assume that some of the 44 refer to Israeli Defence Force, Air Force ejections throughout 1973 and earlier. Until further clarification is available this list will remain as the given information in the public domain. Known Israeli ejections will be listed and matched on the listing below for comparison.
