This book is destined to become a reference work, offering a comprehensive review of the French Air and Space Force over its nine decades of existence.
Featuring 60 previously unpublished personal accounts, 197 pages, a carefully designed cover, and aviation legends such as Roland Garros, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and many more. That sums up the book in both quantitative and qualitative terms! The product of meticulous research and a tribute to those who made military aviation “Made in France”, from the early days to 21st century operations on board aircraft from the Dassault galaxy.
Drafted under the watchful eye of Jérôme de Lespinois, lieutenant-colonel and “History” focal point of the French Air and Space Force, and coordinator of the multiple award-winning book “Nouvelle Histoire de l’Armée de l’Air et de l’Espace” (New History of the French Air and Space Force), “Paroles d’Aviateurs” has curated firsthand accounts from all the specialists involved in French military aviation: pilots, of course, but also mechanics, commandos, and many more.
Each personal account is accompanied by a short biography, a text box providing the reader with the broader context, not to mention the illustrations, many of them produced by Air Force and Space Force artists. In short, a fitting tribute to celebrate this 90th anniversary!
