Following World War II France made determined efforts to catch-up with other countries in developing high-performance aircraft and designed successful machines to fulfill the needs of the Armée de l'Air, the Marine Nationale and compete in export markets. For the next twenty years they were the only aircraft manufacturers to investigate with equal effort, turbojet, ramjet and rocket propulsion for manned fighters, either taking advantage of German 'war-booty' technology or using national pre-war research. A few, such as the Leduc and Griffon ramjet-powered fighters, reached prototype form, the Trident rocket-interceptor advanced to the experimental series (pre-production) stage and the Ouragan, Mystère, Super-Mystère, Mirage III and Etendard were produced in quantity and went on to win export orders. Later, when the turbojet had won the race for the optimal propulsion system, many attempts were made to design variable-geometry aircraft (including the Mirage G series) and VTOL types (the SNECMA Coléoptère and Dassault Mirage IIIV), and there were even a few flying boat interceptor studies. In the late sixties, in the pursuit of ever-higher speeds, Nord Aviation, Sud Aviation and primarily Avions Marcel Dassault also produced many Mach 3+ proposals. Period drawings, promotional art, photographs of prototype aircraft, mock-ups, wind tunnel and promotional models are all combined to present, for the first time in the English language, a complete view of French military aircraft design from the Liberation of France to the late twentieth-century.… (mais)

This has been a very pleasing read. It is well illustrated and appears to be very comprehensive. The book covers the range of immediate post WWII fighters up through VG Mach 3 aircraft. On the way to M3 there are chapters on VTOL/Tail-sitters, naval aircraft, etc. Limited coverage is also provided on history of the major airframe and engine companies.
There is some very limited overlap into production aircraft that may annoy a few readers. In that respect, I think the coverage on those aircraft is balanced considering the theme of the book.
If you want to quibble, there a few issues with translation and grammar. In no way do they detract from this book. In my opinion, there have been scant English language books available on French aerospace. This book is a welcome addition to my library.
On a personal note, the photo of the TF306 is by far and away the best I've ever seen. ( )

When I purchased this book I was a little concerned that it would be a case of all-Dassault/all-the-time, but such is very much not the case. Before the French aerospace industry concentrated on one designer of airframes there were quite a variety of design bureaus; probably too many! Apart from the French having their own take on the post-WWII infatuation with German technology no one seemed to work harder at trying make ram-jet and rocket-propelled aircraft work; but to no avail. I look forward to acquiring the companion volume dealing with bombers and other aircraft. ( )
