France's Dassault F1 Mirage Fighter: No Mere Desert Illusion
The F1 Mirage was first conceptualized in 1963 when the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air) drafted its specifications for an all-weather low-altitude interceptor with supersonic interception capabilities, the ability to use short and rudimentarily-equipped landing strips, and an approach for landing at less than 140 knots (260 kph/161 mph).
