Middle East at War: Israeli Air Force Operations in the 1948 War: Israeli Winter Offensive Operation Horev 22 December 1948–7 January 1949 – Helion & Company – HEL

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.
