Les Escadres De L'Armee De L'Air

Although less famous and less mediatised than the fighter units, the bomber and transport units, together with the training units, make up just as important a section of the Armée de l’Air. The various units (squadrons, groups and flights) are reviewed in this volume in chronological order, showing a variety of bomber types, transport, liaison and training aircraft used by French military aviation from 1945 to the present day, from the unavoidable Mirage IVs of the Strategic Air Forces and their Boeing C-135 tankers to the official Airbus transports.
