The Mistral was a French development of the DH.100 Vampire Mk 5 and the very first jet to equip their air force, being in service from 1952 until 1961. In total 247 (I see different numbers quoted, this is from the museum) of the type was built at Marignane between 1951 and 1953.

The Schneider DFS 108-14 SG-38 Schulgleiter is a German high-wing, cable-braced, single-seat primary glider that was designed at the Schneider factory at Grunau in 1938, hence the designation. The SG-38 played a critical role in pilot training for the second-wave of urgently needed Luftwaffe pilots in the WWII. It is one of, if not the most produced glider ever.

The Morane-Saulnier 230 was a two-seater, aerobatic aircraft of mixed construction (wood, metal and canvas) intended for progression training of student pilots onto fighter aircraft. Ih France the type iss intimately associated with the 1930's Patrouille d'Étampes aerobatic team, which would two decades later become the Patrouille de France. Hence, No. 1048 is on display upside down.

This UH-12B was purchased by the museum in October 1997. The Musée de l'air says it 'wears the colours' of 699, a UH-23B delivered in 1954 to the GH-1 Helicopter Group in Satory. It served there it until 1959 before being transferred to GALAT N°7. According to other sources it is really c/n 699.

The SO Ariel I was an experimental helicopter first flown in 1947, in which the engine drove a compressor and the low-pressure air output was ducted to a combustion chamber at the end of each of the three rotor blades, where the air was mixed with fuel and ignited. The improved Ariel II first flew in March 1949 and is on display in the Hall des Hélicoptères at this super museum. A final version, Aerial III was also developed and the knowledge gained from the programme was used in the development of the Sud-Ouest Djinn.

The Leduc 0.10 was a French research aircraft and one of the first aircraft to fly powered solely by a ramjet. Ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed and so cannot move from a standing start. It has to be carried aloft by a parasite aircraft, hence, the display in the Hall des Prototypes. The pilot controlled the aircraft from within the inner shell and the first powered flight from atop an Languedoc mother ship was made in April 1949 over Toulouse. The two initial prototypes both crashed but this third prototype completed 83 test flights.

This C-47 was built in Oklahoma City and TOC with the USAAF as 43-49194. In February 1946 it became D-21 with the Czechoslovak AF and flew with the Air Transport Regiment (Letecký dopravní pluk - LDP, which later became LDP.1, and after further re-organisation 1.ldp and then 1.dlp). In 1957 the frame was given the new serial 9194 and flew with the Czechoslovaks until 1960, after which it went to the French AF as 49194 and after decommissioning became F-OGFI. Sometime later the frame was scrapped and only the nose is on display at this super museum.

In order to compete for the Deutsch-Archdeacon Cup rewarding the first aviator capable of flying 1,000 m in a closed circuit, Henri Farman ordered a 50 hp biplane from the manufacturer Voisin. After three and a half months of testing, the plane sucessfully completed the route on January 13, 1908, and established the manufacturer's worldwide reputation. This reproduction is on display at this super museum.

This Yak-3 is on display in the Normandy-Niemen pavilion with different markings on either side. The port side wears the "4 white" scheme of Lt Robert Marchi, who claimed 4 victories and 2 shared on the Yak-3. The starboard side wears the plane's original combat serial of 25 white, which it wore when it was donated by Stalin to France from Russia after WWII in 1945. In 1950, it was disassembled and then restored as a composite from components in a scrapyard and given the serial 18 white for display at Chalais-Meudon. Around 1970 it came to this museum and in 1976 repainted as "4 white".

During the Battle of Stalingrad the Soviets realised that the Yak-1 was badly outclassed and needed to be improved. The result was the Yak-3, which was robust and easy to maintain and much liked by both pilots and ground crew. As it was one of the smallest and lightest combat fighters during WWII, its high power-to-weight ratio gave it excellent performance and it proved to be a formidable dogfighter. Its main disadvantage was the weak resistance of the wooden wing. The Normandie-Niemen did not receive Yak-3s until December 1944, but had shot down 94 aircraft by the end of WWII.

The first flight of the Nord 262 was in December 1962 and entered commercial service with Air Inter in September 1964. In total 110 frames were built. This plane made its final flight from Nîmes-Garons to the museum in June 2009.

A successor to the Ouragan and Mystère II, this prototype made its first flight in September, 1952. The aircraft entered service with the AdlA in 1955 and was exported to India and Israel. This is the plane that broke the sound barrier for the first time in France, in a dive in January 1953, during its 34th flight. In memory of this episode, the pilot had a broken wall painted on the plane's nose.

The Potez 53 was a French low-wing enclosed cockpit single-seat cantilever monoplane racing aircraft built specifically to compete in the 1933 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe race, which it won outright. The plane was subsequently modifies to make it even faster and in total three variants were produced. This is the first plane on display in its unmodified form.

Germany produced around 3,300 D.VII aircraft in the second half of 1918. This rush for quantity lead to many production defects, however, the D.VII proved to be a remarkably successful design and quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft. The Armistice ending the war specifically required, in the fourth clause of the "Clauses Relating to the Western Front", that Germany surrender all D.VIIs to the Allies. The type saw widespread use with many countries after WWI.

This D.520 flew originally with the FFI (Frence Forces of the Interior - the pseudo-French resistance air force in the latter stages of WWII) Doret Fighter Group. After storage at Luxeuil and becoming part of this great museum, the plane was painted into the 1940 Battle of France mmarkings of Adj. Pierre Le Gloan, a French WWII flying ace. Unique in the annals of wartime flying, he scored victories against German, Italian and British forces. Flying in the Free French and Vichy French air forces, his exploits made him the only pilot to become a flying ace on both sides.

The Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace has many, many interesting and significant exhibits that are not on public display, rather stored in their compound on the west side of LBG (at Dugny), or elsewhere or have been disposed of one way or another. These valuable pieces are/were outside, exposed to the elements and have suffered accordingly. These are the two museum restoration hangars and so, hopefully, some of this reserve collection is being returned to former glories. Alas it seems ex-AdlA DC-8 45570, as well as ex-AF 707 F-BLCD and ex-AdlA Caravelle 141, will rust away to dust.

The REP Type-K was pressed into service at the start of WWI for aerial reconnaisance. As with many early-war aircraft it was not really suited for its assigned role, in this case primarily because the wing deprived the pilot of a clear downward view and the type was quicly abandoned for aicraft specifically developed for the role. In a few pictures the reg/serial is given as 58.

Designed in 1954, the Alouette II was the first mass-produced turbine-powered helicopter, the powerplant being much lighter and more reliable than a piston engine. A total of 1324 frames were built in France plus several hundred in India. The model on display is the prototype 01, which made its final flight to the museum in October, 1995.

Sixty-nine Etendard IVMs were produced from 1961 to 1965, and then a further twenty-one IVPs. The type was withdrawn from service in September 1981 and replaced by the Modernized Super Étendard.
