EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek and powerful form of a Dassault MD.312 Flamant II trainer aircraft of the French Air Force (Armee de l'Air) in flight. The image, believed to have been taken around 1960, shows the aircraft with the registration number MSN 142, as it soars through the sky against a backdrop of billowing clouds. The Dassault MD.312 Flamant II was a twin-engine, two-seat advanced trainer designed to prepare pilots for jet fighter combat. It was a successor to the MD.310, and was the first French jet trainer to enter service. The aircraft was known for its advanced features, including a variable incidence wing and a retractable tricycle landing gear. The Flamant II was a popular and effective trainer, with a top speed of over 500 mph and a range of over 1,000 miles. It served with the French Air Force from 1956 until the late 1970s, when it was replaced by more modern aircraft. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the advanced technology and design of the French Air Force's training fleet during the Cold War era. The MD.312 Flamant II was an important part of France's military aviation history, and this image serves as a reminder of its legacy.
