Vautour IIB
This two seat bomber could carry a bomb load of 4500
kg and was equipped with a glazed nose for the navigator/ bombardier.
The 'Knights of the Heart' Squadron operated the IIA and IIB out of Ramat-David.
The four IIB models were in service from 1958 until 1971, when they were
replaced by the A-4 Skyhawk.

On 23 January 1962, a photo-reconnaissance Vautour overflew Egypt all
the way to the Libyan border despite repeated attempts to intercept it. |
