This is the first skin, created by me, for my upcoming 1947-49 Israeli War of Independence. This B-17F was one of three purchased by Israel in 1948, from the USA. This was to counter the Royal Egyptian Air Force's Short Stirling bombers. Pending re-militarazation in Czechoslovakia, they sat for approx. 1 month and finally departed on 15 July 1948. On this flight to Israel, they participated in a bombing mission, to show Israel's new capability.

This is aircraft # 1602 of No. 69 Sqdn, based at Ramat David.

My template was Oscar Olszewski's B-17E skin, so partial credit goes to him.

Any questions or comments can be directed to me, Jeff Stoermer, at Storm_F15@yahoo.com 

Thanks!
