Sepecat Jaguar : Almost Extinct

The Jaguar was an iconic aircraft to come from Anglo-French collaboration and one of the first to be conceived with a predatory attack and low-level strike capability.
First planned as a trainer, it emerged as a fighter bomber taking much from the TSR2 concept when a string of cancelled projects identified a gap in strike/attack capability; it soon evolved into a supersonic aircraft ready for reconnaissance and tactical nuclear strike roles.
Retired before its time, for France in 2005 and for the RAF in 2007, it is still revered both by those that operated it and those that stared in wonder.

The end for the Jaguar in the United Kingdom was sudden and rushed with the big cat going out with a meow rather than a roar. However, it survived on other continents providing a growl and bite in maintaining sovereignty for several decades on.

This book is a stunning pictorial tribute to those final days.

Jaguar, le félin en action

En 2005, après trente-deux années au cours desquelles il s'est forgé une réputation de guerrier, le Jaguar, ce valeureux combattant, s'est retiré de l'armée de l'air. Deux ans plus tard, il quitte les rangs de la Royal Air Force, mais son aventure ne s'arrête pas là. En 2007, le Jaguar poursuit sa carrière en Inde, avant de prendre une retraite méritée au panthéon des avions de légende.

À travers cet ouvrage, revivez avec intensité la saga du Jaguar, de sa naissance sur la planche à dessin jusqu'aux dernières opérations. Sans oublier les aventures opérationnelles : les essais en vol, les versions, les missions dans l'armée de l'air, les opérations extérieures sur le continent africain où il a fait ses débuts et a vécu ses premières heures de gloire, mais aussi au Liban, en Irak, en Bosnie et au Kosovo.
Riche de plus de 600 photos, de 19 profils, de plans trois-vues de Jean-Jacques Petit, l'auteur s'est attaché à rechercher des photos de l'avion "en action", prises sur le lieu des opérations à l'époque des faits. Il aborde les avions de la RAF et les Jaguar exportés à Oman, au Nigeria, en Équateur et en Inde.
Vous trouverez également un descriptif du SNA du Jaguar A, les emports, et une liste des Jaguar de l'armée de l'air et de la Royal Air Force détaillant leurs carrières.
