40 Years of Mirage in Brazil

This unique book records exactly forty years of Dassault Mirage operations in the Brazilian Air Force, first under the shape of the Mirage III - designated F-103 in Brazil - then in that of its successor the Mirage 2000 - aka F-2000. Over these four decades Brazilian aviators have struck a real love affair with this world famous fighter plane which made the reputation of the French aerospace industry and which provided the Brazilian Air Force with its first supersonic jet. From 1973 to 2013, almost 250 Brazilian pilots were flight
rated on the Mirage, providing with their interceptor the air defence of the country's airspace and more specifically of the tropical skies over the Federal District and the capital city of Brasília.
