French Language book. Using the context of the various eras covered, the book describes the development of these prototype aircraft through their technical definition, construction, and testing, in line with the Air Force's evolving needs. Marcel Dassault's company developed experimental military prototype aircraft based on versions of the Mirage III. These, while never having an operational career, contributed to the technical advances incorporated into other types of mass-produced aircraft. First, vertical take-off and landing (VTL) flight was developed, with three prototype aircraft: the Balzac V 001, Mirage III V 01, and Mirage III V 02, and two engine testbed aircraft: the Mirage III T 01 and Mirage III F2. then came the flight with variable geometry wings, with three prototype aircraft, the: Mirage G, Mirage G8 01, Mirage G8 02. For Switzerland, at the end of the 1960s, the Milan S 01 was developed with new avionics equipment and with movable lifting surfaces for improved weapons and flight performance. Finally, the Super Mirage 4000, a prototype with exceptional performance, which was not retained for budgetary reasons. The book includes many original documents, illustrations and photographs from the period, most of them unpublished, and is based on exceptional testimonies, collected by the author over nearly twenty years from the major players in these programs.
