EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Dassault Super Mystère B2 aircraft of the French Air Force's No.12 Wing, based at Cambrai, France, in the late 1960s. The Super Mystère B2, a versatile and advanced military aircraft, was produced by Dassault Aviation and served in various roles including reconnaissance, ground attack, and training. The image captures the moment as the plane, with the registration number Mystère X8CA5, prepares for a landing at an airbase, possibly Wattisham in the United Kingdom where No.12 Wing was temporarily stationed during the late 1960s. The wing's insignia, a red and white roundel, is clearly visible on the fuselage, along with the French tricolor markings. The Super Mystère B2 was a significant addition to the French Air Force's fleet, featuring advanced avionics, powerful engines, and excellent maneuverability. Its versatility made it a valuable asset in various military operations, and it saw action in various conflicts, including the Algerian War and the Indochina War. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of military aviation, showcasing the elegance and power of the Dassault Super Mystère B2 as it prepares for its next mission. The image is a reminder of the important role that the French Air Force, and specifically the No.12 Wing, played in the defense and security of France and its allies during the late 1960s.
