Description
The Vautour in Israeli Service: Squadron 110's Story. In 1957, Israel acquired the French Vautour aircraft, which it operated in three distinct roles: reconnaissance, attack, and nightfighter. This unique arrangement allowed the Israeli Air Force to exploit the Vautour's capabilities in various ways. The squadron's recon Vautours played a crucial role in gathering intelligence for Operation Focus, the pre-emptive strike that marked the beginning of the 1967 Six Day War. During this conflict, Squadron 110's attack Vautours took centre stage, spearheading the IAF's air superiority offensive. This book tells the story of Squadron 110 and its Vautour aircraft, shedding light on a fascinating chapter in Israeli military history. With detailed accounts and insights into the squadron's operations, this book offers a compelling look at Israel's aviation past.
