About the Super Mystère B.2

The Dassault Super Mystère B.2 was developed in the 1950s as an evolution of the earlier Mystère series, becoming the first Western European aircraft to achieve supersonic speed in level flight. It served primarily with the French Air Force and also saw export service, notably with Israel.

Its sleek design, thin swept wings, and powerful engine made it an important stepping stone in the development of modern jet fighters.
