This volume covers the period from 1940 until the present day. It contains many hitherto unpublished photographs of air action in the battle for France, in French colonial wars against the rebels in Indochina and Algeria and during the action at Suez.
The greater part of the book is taken up with the most complete chronicle of the evolution of the post-war French aircraft industry available at present in the English language. It recounts the whole fascinating history of the evolution of the great Dassault enterprise and its outstanding aircraft in the various marks of firsts, Mysters and later Mirage jets. It is a unique account of how singleminded design methods and assiduous salesmanship brought the French aircraft industry from obscurity at the end of the 39/45 war to pre-eminence in Europe by the early 70s.
