The Normandie-Niemen celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2017. The squadron was forged in hardship, during some of the fiercest fighting of the Second World War. And 75 years later, it is still in combat that it marks this major milestone in its existence. The bloody missions in the skies over Russia, where 42 pilots paid with their lives for their total commitment, gave way to the technical demands of operations in the Levant, within the framework of Operation Chammal. S

On the Rafales, the markings of precision munitions fired at the enemy have replaced the air victory marks carried by the Yaks. But it is always the same dedication from pilots and mechanics, the same excellence in the preparation of men and machines, the same success in the accomplishment of missions.

The Normandie-Niemen is well armed to now head towards its next rendezvous with history — a century of existence!

This is what every page of this book recalls, served by the exceptional photographs of Alexandre Paringaux and the always well-informed texts of Frédéric Lert.
