Successor to the Mirage III and predecessor to the Mirage 2000, the Mirage F1 has sometimes been described as a "" transition aircraft."" Yet this elegant Mach 2 interceptor with a wing shape that contrasts with the conventional delta previously used on the Dassault-built fighter, has equipped a dozen Army Air Force fighter squadrons for almost 30 years.

This book is devoted to the genesis of the aircraft and its use in the various French units. Illustrated
