The interwar period was a prosperous period for light aviation, one facet of which was the development of aerial aerobactics as a competitive sport. The 1927 Zurich 'Competition of Aerial Virtuosity' is considered to be the first unofficial world championship in this new discipline. The winner was Alfred Fronval flying this M-S AI. He died a year later and the manufacturer Robert Morane sold the plane to the museum. It was extensively overhauled in the early 1970s and underwent a complete restoration between 2013 and 2016 to retore it to its 1927 appearance.

The Neptune proved to be an export success, being in service with eight countries including France. The French Navy receive its first example in June 1953 and they showed impressive longevity as the last Neptune based in the Pacific was finally retired in 1984.

Equipped with a swept wing, the Mystère IV was capable of reaching Mach 1 in a dive. In total 411 frames were produced between 1954 and 1958, at first with the Rolls-Royce Tay engine or later with the more powerful Verdon. This example is in reality 105 although it is on display in the colours of a 2e escadre (2nd squadron) plane.

At the end of the war, this Fw-190 was under repair in France. The Cravant Fw-190 repair shop still contained enough parts for more than 70 examples to be built by SNCAC (the successor to Farman) under the designation NC 900, without taking into account the multiple sub-versions to which they belonged. Therefore, this Fw-190 A-8 was rebuilt as a NC 900 with cn 62 and with an A-7 wing. It is on display in the Hall Seconde Guerre mondiale It wears the colours of Oberst Josef Priller, Kommodore of JG 26, an ace with 101 victories, two thirds of them on the Fw-190.

As early as 1915, Hugo Junkers was working on an all-metal low-wing aircraft. This innovative concept was rejected by the Luftstreitkräfte despite the duralumin structure that offered pilots relatively greater safety. Finally, the J.9 design was approved, designated D-I but only arrived to front line pilots in the last months of the war. Despite the qualities of speed and maneuverability, only 41 copies were built, in particular due to a difficult construction. This plane is the only extant example that survives today.

The SA 319B benefitted from greater power for lower fuel consumption than earlier Alouette models making its performance particularly suitable for high mountainous regions and ensured commercial success. More than 2,000 Alouette IIIs were built up until 1979. The museum's example accumulated 13,478 flight hours and 16,087 people rescued in 35 years.

The French AF bought 20 ex-USN AD-4s as well as 88 ex-USN AD-4Ns and five ex-USN AD-4NAs with the former three-seaters modified to single-seat aircraft with removal of the radar equipment and the two operator stations from the rear fuselage. The AD-4N/NAs were initially acquired in 1956 to replace aging Republic P-47 Thunderbolts in Algeria. The Skyraiders had only a short career in Algeria, but they nonetheless proved to be the most successful of all the ad hoc counter-insurgency aircraft deployed there. The Skyraider remained in limited French service until the 1970s.

The Voisin 10 (or X) was a French two-seat pusher biplane built in two versions, either fitted with a 37 mm cannon (the LBR or Ca.2) or as a conventional bomber (the LAR or Bn.2). It first entered service in late 1917 but had poor performance relative to contemporary fighters so was often relegated to night operations. Despite its obsolescence, it would make up the bulk of front line night bomber escadrilles until the end of the war. This example is the 4th plane produced (not 4 as a serial) and flew with Escadrille V110. This fuselage is the only survivor of all the 900 Voisin 10's built.

From 1990, 35 Super Etendards underwent an upgrade programme and were subsequently named SEM (Super Etendard Modernisé). These planes received a Damocles Laser designation nacelle, an automatic resetting GPS and FLIR that gave the capability to precision bomb moving targets. In March 2016, a SEM aircraft undertook its final launch from the carrier 'Charles de Gaulle' ahead of its final withdrawal from service in July. The type has since been replaced in service by the Rafale M. This SEM flew from Landivisiau to LBG for introduction into the museum in June 2010.
