I happened on to this and don't remember if it was ever posted but found it to be interesting. I knew that the Israelis at one time had some Cubs as did Turkey and a few other nations but this is the first time I had seen this photo.

Here is what was written with the photo:
[FONT=&quot]Piper Cubs go to War [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Piper Cubs provided a host of different services. They served as observation planes in battle, ferried medical supplies to isolated kibbutzim, and dropped mail and newspapers to front-line troops. Machal instructors also used them as trainers for Israeli student pilots. A line of Piper Cubs is shown at the St. Jean student pilot airfield near Acco. (Note the bomb racks on the belly of the Piper.) [/FONT]
