The Dassault Super tendard, which later became the Super tendard Modernis, had a remarkable career. Initially, it was a modest aircraft often tasked with thankless and challenging missions. Despite lacking excessive power, the Super tendard possessed a remarkable versatility that made it the backbone of French carrier aviation for 40 years. Built with solidity, reliability, and well-designed features, the Super tendard was adaptable and regularly upgraded to maintain its rank with increasingly sophisticated equipment and armaments. It gained notoriety for its role in anti-ship missions flown by Argentinian pilots, although paradoxically, France never used it in combat in this capacity. On the other hand, the aircraft was extensively employed as a bomber in numerous wars, including Lebanon, Syria, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan. With over 160 images, this book explores the history of the Super tendard and its profound impact on aviation.
