PALESTINE – Aircraftsman G. HORSFIELD, Royal Air Force. Photograph album. Palestine, 1941.
Images of terrorist activity in Palestine during the Second World War, taken by a member of the RAF while posted to Jerusalem. The majority are photographs of the usual tourist sites, but this album also contains a number of images of the servicemen based at Mt Scopus, including their billets and radio transmitting hut, a crashed French aircraft at Ma'an (Transjordan), two photographs of oil tanks burning in Haifa, and another of the burning Palestine-Iraq oil pipeline.
92 photographs (most 70 x 92mm, some smaller), most with manuscript annotations, mounted on 22 leaves, oblong octavo (160 x 220mm). Original cloth-backed olive wood decorative boards (upper board split but holding).
