Turkish pilots memorial near Haon

Turkish pilots memorial near Haon, Cenotaph memorial in Emek HaYarden, Israel.

The Turkish Pilots Memorial stands about 800 metres east of Route 92 near Haon, in the Emek HaYarden Regional Council. It is a stone monument erected at the crash site, bearing an Ottoman Turkish inscription in Arabic letters that names Captain Fethi Bey and Second Lieutenant Sadık Bey and cites the wind shift that brought down their aircraft.

Enver Pasha, Ottoman minister of war, ordered this memorial built at the crash site after the state funeral. The two pilots, Yüzbaşı Fethi Bey and Mülazım Sâdık Bey, died on 27 February 1914 when their plane, the "National Aid", was thrown by the eastern wind against the cliff above Haon while flying from Damascus to Jerusalem. The site was neglected after 1948 and restored only after 1967 with Turkish government funding.

The Turkish inscription in Arabic letters on the memorial opens with the Fatiha, the first surah of the Quran, for the souls of Yzbashi Fethi Bey and Mulazim Awal Sadik Bey, naming the wind shift that brought their plane down. After the state funeral in Damascus, War Minister Enver Pasha ordered the monument built at the crash site.

The memorial lies about 800 metres east of Route 92 near Haon, in open countryside with no shade or facilities, so bring water and sun protection. It was long unreachable while close to the border and was restored only after 1967 with Turkish government funding.

This is one of the few aviation monuments from the Ottoman period still standing in Israel. It preserves memories from a time when the region was under completely different political rule.
