Description
A detailed visual history relating the Flying Fortress’ service in the fledgling IAF. While early clandestine acquisitions lacked many of the distinctive features seen on the Boeing bombers while in the USAAF, improvisations helped the aircraft become a much needed equalizer during the early years of the Heyl HaAvir. The book provides the reader with all aspects of the B-17’s Israeli service history – from the first mission on 15 July, 1948 by a single aircraft over Cairo to retirement in 1957 in anticipation of newer jet bombers. Illustrated throughout with period photographs and includes colour profiles.
