Nav/bomb operator inside Mirage IV A N°23 "AV" EB 1/93 Guyenne FAS (AdlA)
*37*

Cabin of navigation & bombing system operator was not very favoured with light and visiblility but offered an astonishing room which permitted to read a large size newspaper fully opened!!! This was due to the late Jean Cuny, a large and strong man who was the Test Navigator of Avions Marcel Dassault; he told me that the cabin was designed around him and that a good number of system operators were grateful with a smile concerning his own shapes...
Jean was one of the best specialists of French military aviation and wrote alone or in collaboration with Raymond Danel a number of authoritative books unequaled at this day in the Docavia Collection; naturally a book about all Dassault aircraft but also about the Dewoitine D.520 fighter, The French Fighters , The French Bombers... Impressive...
