In the early 50's two main American companies ruled the Jet fighter market - North American with the Sabre series and Republic with the F-84 series. Later the Super Sabre was evolved and was the first american fighter to break the sound barrier in a level flight.
During this period in France a small man named Marcel Bloch changed his family name to
Dassault and after WW2 founded a company that produced Jets for the French airforce .
Since France always wanted freedom with her arsenal of weapons it was an almost perfect
match. The first Jet fighter of Dassault was the Ouragan that rivaled the straight wing F-84
Thunderjet series. Later the mystere IIC and mystere IV rivaled the sabre family. Later the
super mystere rivaled the super sabre. Dassult was always in a lag of 2 years in compare
to the American companies named above but in his way he took the main essentials of the
American designs and adapted them to the French needs with excellent results !!!
If we understand that during WW2 the French aviation industry was almost
paralysed we will realise how big was this achievement.
In the next chapters I will make a deeper compareations between the different Jets.
I attach here images of the planes involed all in 1:48 scale.
