If you ask the question: name a plane from the Patrouille de France, the answer will be ... the Fouga! Built in more than 900 units (plus about 30 for its cousin the Zephyr), this emblematic bird has trained thousands of military pilots around the world and over several generations. He also made the powder speak in various local conflicts on almost every continent. Nowadays, many copies are still flying in the hands of collectors, especially 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 difficulties and failures, but also tragedies.
More than 1.200 pictures, 13 color profiles and 12 b/w plans.
