An in-depth, illustrated history of Israeli Air Force operations in Western Negev toward the end of the Arab-Israeli War.
Operation HOREV—the Israeli winter offensive from December 1948 until January 1949—practically ended Israel’s War for Independence (also known as the 1948 Arab-Israeli War), with an Israeli victory that forced Egypt to seek ceasefire and to negotiate a settlement with the fledgling nation.
With unseen depth and detail, this book details Israeli Air Force missions during Operation HOREV. It chronicles Israeli Air Force sorties during Operation HOREV; from Austers and Pipers to C-46s and C-47s; from Messerschmitts, Spitfires and P-51s to Beaufighters and B-17s; Israel Air Force operations are detailed spanning the timeline of the conflict down to every unearthed sortie in depth. This level of detail has been made possible by extensive use of contemporary documentation, as well as numerous photographs and color profiles.
Middle East@War—ollowing on from our highly successful Africa@War series, Middle East@War replicates the same format—concise, incisive text, rare images and high-quality color artwork providing fresh accounts of both well-known and more esoteric aspects of conflict in this part of the world since 1945.
