Spitfire IX (Yorek)
Scorpion Squadron
Israel's first two Spitfires were rebuilt British and
Egyptian wrecks. Later, 60 more were purchased from Czechoslovakia and
Italy. They served in the War of Independence and shot down 11 aircraft
(including five British aircraft) with no losses.

Most of Israel's Spitfires were sold to Burma in 1954, but three remain
at the IAF Museum. |
