Mirage III
The Dassault-Breguet Mirage III is Europe’s most successful postwar fighter series. The first prototype flew on November 17, 1956 and almost 1,500 have now been built. Note the simple delta wing shape and half cone intakes.
• Wing Span: 26ft. 11 ½ in. (8.22m)
• Length: 49ft. 3 1/2 in. (15.03m)
• Max Speed: Mach 2.2 or 1,455 mph (2,330 km/h)

• Wing Span: 27ft. 6 ½ in (8.4m)
• Length: 50ft. 2 1/2 in. (15.30m)
• Max Speed: Mach 2.2 or 1,455mph (2,330 km/h)
