This book traces the genesis and history of French nuclear doctrine in relation to its geopolitical context, as well as the creation, establishment, operation and evolution of the Forces Aériennes Stratégiques and their nuclear, strategic reconnaissance and conventional missions. In parallel, the development and deployment of French airborne nuclear delivery systems and weapons constituting the weapon systems are also extensively covered: Mirage IV A/AN, Boeing C-135F, Sol-Sol Balistiques Stratégiques missiles, Mirage IV P/ASMP, Boeing C-135FR, Mirage 2000 N/ASMP/ASMP-A and Rafale B F3/ASMP-A. This ongoing history, maintained without a single moment of discontinuity by the exceptionally professional personnel of the Forces Aériennes Stratégiques, is abundantly illustrated with numerous documents and previously unpublished testimonies. Hardcover edition, 256 pages.
