Vautour IIA
The Vautour IIA was a single seat, attack aircraft armed
with cannons. The French air force ordered 300 of this variant but only
30 entered service in 1957. Nineteen were sold to Israel. The first Vautour
secretly arrived in Israel in August 1957. They were only revealed to
the public in an air display in August 1958.
|
Vautours first saw action on 13 November 1964, in a large scale air strike
on a Syrian position that had been firing on an Israeli kibbutz. |
