The French language magazine dedicated to French aeronautics under the broadest aspects of aviation history, whether civil or military, scientific, industrial or technical. This new quarterly magazine embraces the whole of French aeronautical history and heritage. Its editorial team, already constituted, brings together the best French specialists in history, technique and collection.

The magazine highlights all those who made French aeronautics, but also those who do it today or who work for its preservation and its life. Because the heritage of tomorrow is being built today!

For the first time, the production, technical developments and details of this French fighter are detailed and explained. While this is usual for German, American and British fighters, it is the first time that work of this type has been carried out on a French fighter. Dozens of original technical documents have been collected and analysed, along with previously unpublished photographs from the Dewoitine factory (SNCAM) in 1940. This dossier is enhanced by previously unpublished histories, with colour profiles, of several aircraft.

Other articles in this issue focus on the restoration of a very rare C.635, the biography of Georges Pezant who fought over the Mont-Blanc in 1945, the Mission Wauthier in Africa in 1933 and the colour & marking of the Dewoitine 371, 373 and 376.
