Israeli Air Force Operations in the 1948 War: Israeli Winter Offensive Operation Horev 22 December 1948–7 January 1949 (Middle East at War Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Shlomo Aloni (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Aloni’s absorbing account sports dozens of rare aircraft photos. Tom Cooper’s typically terrific color profiles offer plenty of model project possibilities. And maps graphically chronicle combat... boasts enormous amounts of fascinating facts – and delectable details. Going forward, however, Helion might consider referencing, say, Tom Cooper’s outstanding “Africa@War” studies as templates for future entries. Roundly recommended!"

    This book contains incredible detail regarding every day of Operation Horev. My only complaint is that it is a little hard to read as there is simply too much information listed. There are however, a great number of excellent pictures. Overall a very good book on the 1948 Israel-Arab war.
