Caption correction
[edit]
1948 bombing of Naharia? Hardly. This photo appears in Cohen, Avi; Eyal, Eli; Imbar, Ido (1997) (in Hebrew). The Roots of the Israeli Air Force 1913-1948. Israeli Ministry of Defence. ISBN 9650509143 and can also be seen here and here. It does not show Naharia, it shows Kibbutz Yehiam. It not from May 1948, it is from January. It's not a bombing, it's a supply drop (which is also obvious from the low altitude, since if this were a bombing the pilot is risking damaging his own aircraft). The aircraft is not Syrian, it is a en:Sherut Avir en:RWD-13, as is also testified by the VQ-PAL registration apparent in the air force link - VQ is the prefix for mandatory Palestine aircraft.
