From the Morane-Saulnier 'Parasol' to the Mirage 2000-5F, from the trenches of the First World War to NATO operations, the 1/2 Stork fighter group has always remained on the front line in the face of history in the making. A pioneering squadron, heir to the famous Stork Squadron, its history is intimately linked to the greatest names in French military aviation: Guynemer, Fonck, Garros... After the painful hours of the world wars, the Storks continued to strike the collective memory by closely associating their name with that of Marcel Dassault and the most spectacular of his aircraft, the Mirage Delta.

With its current Mirage 2000-5F, the GC 1/2 Cigognes remains today the undisputed specialist in air-to-air combat with an aircraft and a weapon system that still hold their place at the international level. An immensely rich heritage, a complex know-how, a long tradition of excellence, an unsurpassable human history: this is what this book tells all about, served by the exceptional photographs of Alexandre Paringaux and the always well-informed texts of Frédéric Lert.
