If you ask the question: name an aircraft of the Patrouille de France, the answer will be... the Fouga!

Built in over 900 examples (plus around thirty for its cousin the Zéphyr), this iconic aircraft trained thousands of military pilots around the world and across several generations. It also saw action in various local conflicts on almost every continent. To this day, numerous examples still fly in the hands of collectors, particularly in France and the United States. But beyond being an industrial technological achievement in a difficult post-war period, it is also a human achievement.

At every level, the people behind this great adventure surpassed themselves to overcome difficulties and setbacks, as well as tragedies.

With 496 pages, over 1,200 photographs, 13 colour profiles and 11 plans by Patrice Gaubert.
