Dassault Mirage 2000: Books - History and Deployment

Dassault Mirage 2000: Flying in air forces around the world (Duke Hawkins)

This beautiful Duke Hawkins photo album extensively presents the Dassault Mirage 2000, in service with the Armée de L'Air and many other air forces around the world. Covers all versions, from the 2000 B/C to the 2000-5 and 2000-9.
The book contains not only action shots, but also many "walkaround" photos that show details of the aircraft from different angles. Chapters on cockpit, fuselage, armament and maintenance work.

The series "Aircraft in Detail" arose from the collaboration between pilots, aircraft technicians and modellers. This volume (No. 3) on the Dassault Mirage 2000 is illustrated with a large number of very high quality color photographs, most of which have never been published before.

Mirage 2000N

In service since 1988, the Mirage 2000 N ensures a daily essential part of the French nuclear deterrence mission by implementing the Air-to-Ground Medium-Range thermonuclear warhead missile.
The remarkable qualities and performances of the Mirage 2000 N, directly derived from the Mirage 2000 C and Mirage 2000 B versions, also allow it to ensure conventional missions.
For the first time, a book reveals the history of the Mirage 2000 N, its origins, its technical design and its operational use within the Air Force and the Strategic Air Forces.

Mirage 2000 - l'histoire dans l'armée de l'Air de 1974 à nos jours

NEW

The development of the Mirage 2000 follows on from the last experimental prototypes of Dassault Aviation, notably the Mirage 4000. The first Mirage 2000 prototype flew in 1978.
Since 1984, the aircraft has formed the backbone of French combat aviation. Five main versions were operated by the French Air Force, covering a wide range of missions in France and abroad.

Based on the geopolitical and military context of each period, as well as the evolution of air power doctrine, this reference book traces the development and history of the Mirage 2000 variants. It presents their origins, technical design, operational use, service career, and assigned squadrons, supported by a large selection of previously unpublished photographs and illustrations.
