L20210039
€36.02
The recruitment of the Légion étrangère, over its 189 years of existence, has never ceased to evolve in response to numerous parameters that fiction does not glimpse or cannot reveal.

Although the Vampire was designed and used as a fighter by the Armée de l'Air, this role was not to remain its exclusive domain for long. The arrival of American aircraft under the MDAP framework, and the progressive development of Marcel Dassault's fighters, overshadowed it — not least because they were more modern and simply better. A use had...
