This is the first book ever to chronicle in detail all of the Mirage III, 5, F1 and 2000 aircraft and specifically their use in combat operations from the Middle East to the South Atlantic, the Persian Gulf to the steaming jungles of Ecuador and Peru. With well over three million flight hours since 1961, the Mirage has seen more combat than any present day jet fighter, including action in the Six-Days War, the Falklands, the Gulf War and many other lesser known conflicts. Superb color photography is combined with detailed text including squadron histories, and Mirage pilot narratives from Israel, Argentina, South Africa,Iraq and others. 400 colour b/w photographs
