	Dassault Mirage III -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Dassault Mirage III is a supersonic fighter aircraft designed in (A republic in western Europe; the largest country wholly in Europe) France during the (The decade from 1950 to 1959) 1950s, and manufactured both in France and a number of other countries.
		A similar inconsistent variation in Mirage fighter versions was the presence or absence of an (3 to 30 megahertz) HF antenna that was fitted as a forward extension to the vertical tailplane.
		The Mirage IIIV was built in response to a mid- (The decade from 1960 to 1969) 1960s (An international organization created in 1949 by the North Atlantic Treaty for purposes of collective security) NATO specification for a VTOL strike fighter.

	The Dassault Mirage III/5/50 Series
		The Mirage IIIC was armed with twin 30 millimeter DEFA revolver-type cannon, fitted in the belly with the gun ports under the air intakes.
		A similar inconsistent variation in Mirage fighter versions was the presence or absence of an HF antenna that was fitted as a forward extension to the tailfin.
		On some Mirages, the leading edge of the tailfin was a straight line, while on those with the HF antenna the leading edge had a sloping extension forward.

	CAEA : Mirage III B
		Compared to basic Mirage III C, its fuselage is lengthened to allow the installation of a second pilot who occupies the volume of the radioelectric compartment.
		Mirage III B was adopted by the majority of the users of Mirage III C: 3 Mirage III BZ for South Africa.
		Mirage III B of the C.A.E.A., the number 204, was delivered to the Armée de l'Air on December 4, 1962; it was used in Dijon and mainly with the CIFAS 328 in Bordeaux-Mérignac.

	The Dassault Mirage IV
		As a interim measure, they simply built a scaled-up version of the Mirage III fighter, known as the "Mirage IV", with the expectation that it would be soon replaced by a more capable aircraft.
		The company envisioned a scaled-up version of the Mirage III fighter, originally focusing on a "Mirage IVC" with twin Pratt and Whitney J75 turbojets, but finally settled on a smaller design, the "Mirage IVA", which was powered by twin Atar turbojets as used on the single-engine Mirage III.
		With RATO boosters and the heavy-duty landing gear, the Mirage IVA was in principle capable of operating from rough airstrips.

	Mirage III by Jose R. Rodriguez (Fujimi/Academy 1/48) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The IAF used the Mirage as an air superiority fighter and as a ground attacker even though the “experts” had dismissed the little Mirage with its lack of range and sophisticated electronics as a wanna-be fighter that could not perform the tasks of a “real” fighter, i.e.
		Because we Mirage fans seen to be a silent minority without deep pockets, we will continue to see new kits of aircraft already available or new kits of aircraft with rather short and lackluster careers but which have a higher “cool” appeal.
		Perhaps the Mirage III family was the last of the true fighter plane breed were the pilot mattered and electronic gadgetry was of no use.

	MIRAGE 2000 (DASSAULT-BREGUET)
		The Mirage 2000 D, derived from the Mirage 2000N operated by the French Air Force, is a two-seater air-to-ground attack aircraft.
		The Mirage 2000 D geometrical characteristics and the main performance data are the same as those of the Mirage 2000-5.
		Mirage 2000-9 is mainly characterised by highly evoluated avionics, including a new RDY2 radar, a sophisticated EW suit, IMEWS, and a wide range of modern weapons.

	The Dassault Mirage III/5/50 Series
		These were almost two meters longer than the Mirage III prototype, had a wing with 17.3% more area, a chord reduced to 4.5%, and an Atar 09B turbojet with afterburning thrust of 58.9 kN (6,000 kg / 13,230 lb).
		The Mirage IIIE differed from the IIIC interceptor most obviously in having a 30 centimeter (11.8 inch) forward fuselage extension to increase the size of the avionics bay behind the cockpit.
		The Mirage IIIB trainer, mentioned earlier, had tandem seating, with a fuselage stretch of over a meter relative to the Mirage IIIA and the cannon deleted to accommodate the second seat.

	The Dassault Mirage IV
		Despite the fact that the Mirage IV had no bomb-bay, was crammed full of fuel tanks, and was also generally fitted with twin 2,500-liter (660 US gallon) drop tanks, its range for its assigned mission, penetrating Soviet airspace, was still marginal.
		The weapon for which the Mirage IV was designed, the 60 kilotonne "AN-22" nuclear weapon, fit into a recess in the fuselage.
		The Mirage IV obtained a new lease on life in the bomber role when 18 were rebuilt as "Mirage IVPs", where "P" for "Penetration", to carry the ASMP ramjet-powered stand-off missile, instead of the AN-22 bomb.

	CAEA : Mirage III NG
		Dassault proposed an upgrade of Mirage III/5, the Mirage 50, powered by an Atar 9K50 wich already fitted Mirage F1 and being fitte with a radar Agave (Super Etendard), or Cyrano IVM (Mirage F1) depending on main mission assigned to the aircraft.
		Differences being the added non-retractable swept-back foreplanes and highly-swept wing root leading-edge extensions, fly-by-wire controls derived from that of the Mirage 2000, navigation/attack system inspired from that of the Mirage F1 and Mirage 2000, an equipment for in-flight refuelling, but still withe ATAR 9K50 turbojet of Mirage 50.
		Mirage III NG was preserved at Istres by Conservatoire du Patrimoine Aéronautique Istréen wich entrusted it to us in march 2004.

		The most successful model by far was the Mirage IIIE with a larger fuselage and optimized as a long range fighter bomber.
		The Mirage III was such a successful concept that it has served as the basis for no less than six related designs--the Mirage IV nuclear bomber, the Mirage 5/50 attack fighters, the Mirage F.1 fighter, the Mirage 2000 fighter, Mirage 2000 bomber, the Israeli Kfir attack fighter, and the South African Cheetah attack fighter.

		These same Mirages soon had the chance to see action (including the famous attack on June 5th 1967 that started the 6 days war) and they certainly fared pretty well against their Arab enemies.
		Apart from an outstanding export success (the Mirage III was/has been used by 14 air forces all around the world), the Mirage III was also the seed of a very successful family of combat aircraft, including Mirage 5/50/2000, Dagger, Nesher and Kfir.

		While the first two Mirages were twin-engined, the Mirage III was powered by a single afterburning SNECMA Atar 9B engine, then the most powerful French jet available.
		Only nine months from the cancellation of the Mirage II, the III flew and nine weeks later showed off Mach 1.52 performance at 39,000 feet under measured and calibrated conditions in level flight.

		The Mirage F.1 design uses the same fuselage as the Mirage III but replaces the delta wing of the Mirage III/5 family with a more traditional swept wing and horizontal tail.
		This change was made since many users of the earlier aircraft complained about the high landing speeds and large turn radii associated with delta-winged aircraft.
		The efficiency of the new wing coupled with a 40% increase in fuel capacity over the Mirage III results in a shorter takeoff length, twice the range, thrice the supersonic endurance, improved maneuverability, and much better low altitude performance.
