French TextFor more than 40 years, the French Mirage IV jet bomber has been the main vector for France's nuclear strike force. A symbolic aircraft par excellence, the Mirage IV deserved a more technical analysis which this book provides.This work retraces the story of this legendary aircraft from its first missions in the sixties to its conversion into a reconnaissance aircraft.Frederic Lert, a professional aviation journalist, is also a globe-trotter tracking down confidential or classified information. He has already written several well known books (Wings of the CIA, the B-52s).Written in French, this book nevertheless provides a full color detailed visual history of this aircraft which will be invaluable to the aviation historian and modeler alike.
