EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in the Israel-Arab conflict, dating back to May 23,1948. The image showcases a clandestine airfield near Rome, owned by Hagannah, the Jewish underground militia during the British Mandate in Palestine and precursor to the Israeli army. In desperate need of fuel supplies, various aircraft from around the globe, particularly Canada, made pit stops at this secret base before heading towards Palestine. The Jewish Air Force faced overwhelming inferiority compared to Arab forces and sought reinforcements. The photograph depicts grounded planes representing an international effort to bolster the Jewish military's aerial capabilities. Amidst tensions in Europe and with Israel's struggle for independence intensifying, these aircraft played a crucial role in shaping history. Capturing both historical significance and aviation marvels of that era, this horizontal shot portrays a scene where military planes rest on foreign soil as they refuel for their mission ahead. It serves as a testament to the determination of those involved and highlights how nations rallied together despite geographical distances. AFP ARCHIVES proudly presents this remarkable image from its collection—showcasing not only its commitment to preserving historical moments but also shedding light on conflicts that have shaped our world today
