The IAF has had opponents who punch below their weight. The USAF prepared for WWIII, not the uber fighter jock tactical battles the Israelis excelled in. And American pilots can be every bit as good as Israeli ones, this is just internet hubris that Israelis are the best etc.
Technology? You have to be kidding!! Who made those fighters?? The US!!
Who owns the technology for the most hard parts- like the engine?? The US!!
Who makes the most advanced fighter in the world, today- the F22A? The US...
Who can even seriously claim that the Israelis are better than the Americans? The Israelis are competent, and make good stuff, but the US is by far the leader when it comes to overall ability!!

As far as i know usaf did put against luftwaffe every thing they had...
even a number of carriers they did not need in pacific were the navy did most of the fighting.
The russian airforce decimated the luftwaffe not usaf .russian pilots might have been underequipt early in the war but they were far from poorly trained.
