Over the last two decades, the Aéronautique Navale, French Naval Aviation, has grown into a powerful and battle-hardened force equipped with a large inventory of Rafale Marine naval strike fighters, E-2C Hawkeye early-warning aircraft, Falcon 50, Gardian and Atlantique 2 maritime surveillance/maritime patrol aircraft, Dauphin, Panther, Alouette and Caïman naval helicopters and CAP 10, Xingu and Falcon 10 trainers/light transport aircraft. Its well-trained aircrews, supported by highly qualified engineers, air traffic controllers, intelligence specialists and firemen, perform a wide range of missions over land and sea, both in continental France and abroad. With over 200 full-colour images and detailed information, this book plunges the reader right into the heart of French Navy squadrons, as it depicts the everyday life of modern-day Aéronautique Navale units.
With over 200 full colour images the book is highly illustrated throughout and shows just how the French Naval Air Arm has upgraded their equipment over the last 20 years, and more work still in the pipeline. A good value book, and another one which will also offer a good collection theme for modellers, with a good mix of possible airframe types.
