THE FLAMANT AND ITS VARIANTS
For most people, the manufacturer Dassault is associated with the Mystère and Mirage. Yet it was with a twin-engine piston aircraft that Marcel Bloch, who had become Dassault, returned to the aeronautical spotlight in the late 1940s.

Indeed, nearly 70 years ago its first aircraft, the MD.303, took off from Mérignac.
Its derivatives, produced in three versions — the MD.315 for colonial policing, the MD.311 for bombing and navigation training, and the MD.312 for liaison and pilot school duties — would be the first post-war French aircraft produced in series.
Although the aircraft was officially named Flamant by the administration, its operators simply called it the Dassault. It would maintain a French aerial presence in the colonies until the dissolution of the French Union. Its trainer versions would train generations of transport crews for nearly 34 years. It was the liaison aircraft of every unit in the Armée de l'Air.
This book takes you through the history of the Dassault and its direct derivatives, the Spirale, Communauté and Hirondelle.
