The Mirage III is a single engine supersonic deltawing-fighter jet capable
for air-to-air, air-to-ground (nuclear) missions and reconnaissance. The
Mirage III was developed by the French company Dassault for the French
Air Force as a new interceptor in 1953. The Mirage III was the first West-European
operational fighter jet which could fly Mach 2. The aircraft is the basic
model for the other aircraft: Mirage
IV, Mirage 5 and Mirage 50. More than 1400 Mirage III/5/50 aircraft
have been build in 90 different versions which are/were in service with
the air forces in 21 countries.
