In mid 1952, the Sabre Mk 4 went into production with the first one flown on the 28th August 1952. Apart from some minor structural and system changes, including improved air-conditioning and gun sight, the MK 2 and the MK 4 were identical. The Sabre MK 4's went directly to the RAF under a mutual a..

The design is based on the Mustang kept at the Israeli Airforce Museum today. Disruptive patterns for the period are too varied to provide a definitive scheme. The first pair of Mustangs to arrive in Israel were quickly assembled and rushed into service in Israel's first fighter squadron. They were ..

Airacobras first fought Japanese Zeros on 30 April 1942 in a low level action near Lae, New Guinea. From May to August 1942 combat between Airacobras and Zeros took place on a regular basis over New Guinea. Compilation of combat reports indicates the Zero was either equal to or close to the P-39 in ..

"Mirage IIIR" was a reconnaissance version of the Mirage IIIE with the avionics suite of the Mirage IIIC interceptor. It was equipped with multiple cameras for photo-reconnaissance sorties instead. The Mirage IIIR then developed into "Mirage IIIRD" an improved version of the "R". It was adopted outs..

The Mirage IIIE differed considerably from the earlier Mirage IIIC interceptor. Its airframe was 300mm (12in) longer with a forward fuselage extension.This increased the size of the avionics bay located directly behind the cockpit. The stretch also enabled its fuel capacity to be expanded. The stret..

During its service with the French Air Force, the Mirage IIIC was normally armed with assorted air-to-ground ordnance or R.550 Magic air-to-air missiles. Its design proved to be relatively versatile, allowing the fighter model to have been readily adapted to serve in a variety of roles.This patten..

The factory camouflage scheme was evolved for the 162b using the late period colours 81/82/76. The fuselage and vertical tailplane were usually mottled with 81 and 82.
