EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Armee de l'Air, the French Air Force, during the Cold War era. The centerpiece of the image is the Dassault Mirage IIIE fighter jet (msn 410) of Escadron de chasse 1-13 Artois, which is taxied on the tarmac of Base aerienne 132 Colmar-Meyenheim. The Mirage IIIE, a single-engine, delta-winged aircraft, was a formidable fighter used extensively by the French military from the late 1960s to the 1990s. Its sleek design and powerful engines made it a favorite among French pilots. In the background, a line of Dassault Mystère IVAs of Escadron de chasse 3-14 can be seen. These propeller-driven jets, which entered service in the late 1950s, were a staple of the French Air Force during the 1960s and 1970s. The contrast between the modern Mirage IIIE and the older Mystère IVAs highlights the rapid pace of technological advancement in military aviation during this period. The year is 1971, and the scene exudes an air of quiet efficiency and readiness. The French Air Force was on high alert during the Cold War, and these jets were ready to respond to any threat. The photograph is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the French military personnel who served during this time, and to the technological prowess of the French aircraft industry. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the history of military aviation and the Cold War era.
