Dassault Mirage IIIO

One of the earlier supersonic fighter aircraft designed after WWII - the Dassault Mirage III is further notable as being developed in France, which was still recovering slowly after the war.

 

The Mirage used the ATAR engine, developed from research programs undertaken by BMW's aero division during the war.

 

The Mirage II is also notable for its delta-wing design - a continuous triangle form from leading edge, through to the engines.

 

The Mirage version shown, the IIIIO was manufactured in Australia for the RAAF, forming part of Australia's early supersonic air capability.

 

The RAAF Mirages remained in service until the 1980s, and on sold to Pakistan.
