Moniteur de l'Aéronautique - McDonnell Douglas, the combat aircraft

McDonnel Douglas, the combat aircraft

Throughout the 49 issues of the "Moniteur de l'Aéronautique"

The first issue of the magazine "Le Moniteur de l'Aéronautique" arrived on newsstands in October 1977. In November 1981, the last issue brought to an end 49 publications rich in aviation news and history.

You will find in this compilation some exhaustive articles on famous combat aircraft bearing the signature of Douglas and McDonnell's design offices. The Skyhawk, the Phantom, and the F-15 make up the bulk of the book, although the article on the XF-86 shows just how obsessive the escort of long-range bombers was in the 1950s.

Fragmentary, quasi-impressionist, this compilation does not claim to cover the subject exhaustively. It simply has the value of a snapshot that fixes a certain vision.
A vision more than forty years old.
