Really nice softcover 96 page book that covers the B-17G in Israeli Air Force service. This book covers the history with plenty of text and fantastic photos and colour profiles telling the full story of the Israeli Fortresses from the beginning to the end of their operational life. It covers in great detail the acquisition of three aircraft by the Israeli Defence Forces and their deployment in various operations from the War of Independence to the Suez Crisis. Great stuff for model makers looking for an unusual paint scheme! This book is written from both a historian and a modellers point of view - really great resource! Difficult to find but well worth it for fans of the B-17 / History of the Israeli Air Force. Here’s the official product info: 96 pages. 217 b/w photos and 15 colour profiles (3 with upper planform views and opposite sides). Detailed visual history relating the Flying Fortress' service in the fledgling IAF. While early clandestine acquisitions lacked many of the distinctive features seen on the Boeing bombers while in the U.S.A.A.F., improvisations restored the fight to the surreptitious long-range aircraft, and they became a much needed equaliser during the early years of the Heyl HaAvir. Provides the reader with all aspects of the B-17's Israeli service history - from the first mission on 15 July, 1948 by a single aircraft over Cairo to retirement in 1957 in anticipation of newer jet bombers. Highlights include B-17 actions during War of Independence operations Yoav and Chorev, interwar years, Suez Crisis operation Kadesh and IAF colours and markings. 96 page softcover published 2010 -------------------------------------------------- SHIPPING:UK Items usually sent by Royal Mail, with tracking SHIPPING: OVERSEAS ITEMS WORTH LESS THAN €150 / £135 From 1 July 2021, the Brexit transition period ends. From this date forward, EVERYTHING sold to a country outside of the UK counts as an export, and as such could be subject to VAT/tax. EU member states require an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number, although this is optional. From 1 July, eBay should provide me with an IOSS number once you have completed checkout. I will then make sure this number is visible on your parcel. This is to tell the customs officials in your country that you have already paid the relevant taxes at point of purchase. The VAT rate for books and printed papers is 0% in the UK, but it may well be different for your country. The good news is that eBay have an entire team dedicated to working out the tax rates for you - these should be visible on your pre-order summary just before you complete checkout, and will be based on 1) the applicable VAT rate for the type of goods you have bought 2) the value of the goods. If you have won an item at open auction, then the final tax amount will not be visible until bidding ends. If you are purchasing a 'buy it now' item then the applicable tax should be visible before you complete checkout.This rule covers items less worth than €150 / £135, regardless of whether there is one item or multiple items in the order. For orders worth more than €150 / £135, please see below.Some countries such as Australian (ABN numbers) and some US States have already implemented the collection of taxes at point of purchase, so customers in these countries will in most cases be familiar with the collection of tax when buying on eBay UK. If any additional codes are required for your parcels, then I am confident that eBay will provide me with them. I will then in due course make sure they are visible on any paperwork or address labels, to show you have already paid your tax. current VAT rates for books can be seen here: https://www.internationalpublishers.org/our-work/vat-and-fixed-book-price/printed-books-and-vat-gst SHIPPING:OVERSEAS ORDER WORTH MORE THAN €150 / £135 If your order - whether an individual item or multiple items - is worth more than €150 / £135, then eBay will NOT provide me with an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number once you have completed checkout. Currently, such orders will be subject to tax/VAT (if required) only when they enter the destination country, at the discretion of the local tax authority and based on the tax rates for the kind of item(s) you have purchased. *Please note* that the parcel may also be subject to a release charge by the customs agency in your country. This is the system as it stands - in the future, there may become available a service whereby you can pay all charges up front, in which case I will update my listings.
