EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the sleek and agile Morane-Saulnier MS.502 Criquet number 1071, a legendary French fighter aircraft from the post-World War II era. Circa 1949, this image finds the MS.502 on display, a testament to its storied history with the Armee de l'Air, the French Air Force. The Morane-Saulnier MS.502 Criquet, a single-engine, propeller-driven fighter, was designed as a successor to the MS.406, another iconic French fighter used extensively during World War II. Number 1071, with its distinctive red and blue markings, showcases the MS.502's elegant lines and aerodynamic shape. The MS.502 Criquet was known for its impressive performance, with a top speed of over 300 miles per hour and a climbing rate of over 3,000 feet per minute. Its advanced design, including a retractable landing gear and a bubble canopy, set it apart from its contemporaries. In the aftermath of World War II, the MS.502 saw service with various air forces around the world, including the French, Belgian, and Egyptian air forces. Number 1071, once a proud member of the Armee de l'Air, now stands as a symbol of aviation history and the technological advancements that shaped the post-war era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the MS.502 Criquet ruled the skies and embodied the spirit of innovation and progress in the realm of aviation.
