EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the International Air Tattoo held at Greenham Common on 25 June 1977, the majesty of military aviation is on full display. The image features three iconic aircraft from the time, each representing the cutting edge of aerial technology from their respective nations. At the forefront of the image is the McDonnell Douglas F-15A 76-0011/BT from the 36 Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) of the United States Air Force, based at Bitburg, Germany. The F-15A, with its distinctive two-color paint scheme, was a formidable air superiority fighter, known for its agility and powerful engines. To the left of the F-15A is the General Dynamics F-111E, another impressive aircraft from the US Air Force. The F-111E was a versatile tactical fighter and bomber, capable of both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Its unique variable sweep wings allowed it to adapt to various flight conditions. On the right side of the photograph is the Dassault Super Mystère B.2, representing the French military. This twin-engine, all-weather fighter interceptor was a mainstay of the French Air Force for many years, with its advanced radar and weapon systems making it a formidable opponent in the skies. The International Air Tattoo, held annually at Greenham Common, provided a unique opportunity for the public to witness these impressive aircraft up close, showcasing the international cooperation and technological advancements in military aviation. This photograph is a testament to that spirit of innovation and the awe-inspiring power of these iconic aircraft.
