ABOUT
The first book to cover the entire history of military aviation in France, translated from the 1980 French edition.
The authors spent several years examining the public archives of the Musee de l'Air, The Service Historique de l'Armee de l'Air, and the French National Assembly, among others, resulting in a complete overview of French military aviation from the Heurus balloon of 1794 to the modern Mirage 2000 jet fighter.
Special topics such as women in the French Air Force, Free French pilots in the RAF, flying aces, strategic bombing, and airplane purchases from the United States are treated in chapters following the chronological history.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, tables and graphs.
