Long shot...V tail Beech Q

Iran supposedly had some. While the USAF had Bonanzas in the aerial surveillance role, these were the later conventional-tail A series.

Israel had at least three in their air units during the War of Independence. These were originally in civil paint schemes but had Stars of David and crude desert camouflage overpainted. One was fitted with light bomb racks for dive attacks against the Egyptians and Jordanians.

Hope this helps!

Doesn't killing doctors count as military service? Wasn't that the Bonanza's nickname: "Fork-tailed doctor killer"?

There is a relatively poor b&W pic of a Bonanza in israeli colors with underbelly bomb shackles at:

Old Hoodoo,

Thanks for the link. I tried it and it worked, and I also re-tried the first link and it worked as well. Guess it was just a case of my trying to access the site right after they'd had their "one millonth" user access it. . .;-)

The links worked for me,thanks!
