Fouga Aircraft - France: Books - History and Models

Magister dixit - L'histoire du Fouga et de ses dérivés

If you ask the question: name a Patrouille de France aircraft, the answer will be... the Fouga! Built in more than 900 units (plus thirty for its cousin the Zephyr), this emblematic bird has trained thousands of military pilots around the world and over several generations. It has also made gunpowder talk in various local conflicts on almost every continent.

Today, many examples still fly in the hands of collectors, particularly in France and the United States. But it is also, beyond being an industrial technological success in a difficult post-war period, a human success. At all levels, the actors of this great adventure have surpassed themselves to overcome the difficulties and failures, but also the tragedies.

With 496 pages, more than 1, 200 photos, 13 color profiles and 11 plans by Patrice Gaubert.
