Some of the action comes from the Pakistan Air Force, where the Mirage III/5 is still operational, other photos are from the Argentine and Swiss Air Force.  The Mirage III (and 5) proved to be a successful platform for a high speed reconnaissance jet. For this, the nose was completely redesigned. Every detail of the reconnaissance version is included.  Also offered are very close details of every aspect of the Mirage III, such as the engine, landing gear, different versions of the cockpit, the entire fuselage. The book includes an extensive chapter on the maintenance of the jet. For this, the author visited Payerne Air Base, where the only airworthy Mirage III in Europe is maintained.
