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.

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.

The Farman F.60 Goliath was a French airliner and bomber produced by the Farman Aviation Works from 1919. It was instrumental in the creation of early airlines and commercial routes in Europe after WWI. This Goliath crashed at Wadhurst, East Sussex when flying between Paris and Croydon, with three passengers killed and two injured. The museum website suggests the aircraft was repaired and returned to service to fly around the Alps. This is supported by the fact that its registration was not cancelled until June 1932. Air Union was one of the four airlines that merged to become Air France,

This Flogger-G was originally TOC with the NVA as 558 in June 1982, later becoming 2030 upon German re-unification. (I think it was retired around April 1991 and stored at Ingolstadt) before coming to this super museum in 1999, where is is on display in these fake Soviet/Russian markings

The first variable-sweep aircraft from Dassault emerged as the single-engine, two-seat Mirage G fighter in 1967. The Mirage G was developed into a twin-engine, two-seat nuclear strike fighter, the Mirage G4. When under construction the requirements changed and the French military requested that the design be converted into a dedicated interceptor, This first flew in May 1971 and the second aircraft, the single-seat G8-02 first flying over a year later. However, As no funding was included for the type in the 1971-1976 French defence budget it did not enter production.

Designed in Vichy France, the MS.470 prototype first flew in December 1944 and successful testing lead to an order from the French AF of a revised variant the MS.472. The MS.472 Vanneau II was the production variant and three prototypes and 230 production aircraft were built. The type remained in service with the French AF and Navy into the late 1960s. It is a great pity that no complete airframe has survived but at least this forward section is on display at this super museum

In July 1990, France ordered 80 examples (later reduced to 50) of the slightly modified EMB-312F version, equipped with a ventral airbrake, French COMM systems and a reinforced structure that potentially increased the lifetime to 10,000 flight hours. The type replaced the Magister at the Air School of Salon-de-Provence (EPNAA, School of Piloting and Navigation of the Air Force). Tucano service in the AdlA ended in July, 2009, and this example is now on display at this super museum

Although the Bréguet 14 did not enter into combat until September 1917 it quickly became one of the best aircraft involved in WWI. Its exceptional robustness and 300 hp engine enabled it to be used on all fronts as a bomber and high altitude reconnaissance aircraft without any escort. Production ceased in 1926 with a production run of around 8,000 units exported to 14 nations. After WWI, the type's good performance gave rise to numerous civilian versions for commercial transport or mail transport.

Developed from the La Cierva C.30 by Lioré and Olivier from 1931 but only two C.302 frames were built, one before and one after WWII. Its main innovations: a spring-loaded landing gear and a device (disengageable) for driving the rotor by the engine on start-up (to reduce the long take-off run required for earlier autogyros) were all overtaken by the rapid development of helicopter advances. The example on display is the second and last C.302 produced.

The Bréguet 19 was a sesquiplane bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. Production began in 1924 and over 2, 700 examples were built in multiple variants. The Super Bidon was created specifically for a transatlantic flight attempt. It was named Point d'Interrogation (The Question Mark) and in September 1930 flew from Paris to New York City, a distance of 6,200 km (3,900 mi) making the first non-stop east-west crossing of the North Atlantic.

The experimental Antoinette VII, a further development of the Antoinette IV, was built specifically to attempt a crossing of the English Channel and claim the Daily Mail prize. Ironically, the Antoinette VII's first flight took place on 25 July 1909, the same day that Louis Blériot succeeded in crossing the channel. On display are the original fuselage and engine, but replica wings and tail unit were fitted after WWII.

The experimental Antoinette VII, a further development of the Antoinette IV, was built specifically to attempt a crossing of the English Channel and claim the Daily Mail prize. Ironically, the Antoinette VII's first flight took place on 25 July 1909, the same day that Louis Blériot succeeded in crossing the channel. On display are the original fuselage and engine, but replica wings and tail unit were fitted after WWII.
