Dassault Myst\u00e8re IV-A<\/h1>\n

Design work on the Myst\u00e8re IV began in 1951 as a technology research aircraft based on the Myst\u00e8re II and intended to study transonic flight.\u00a0 The aircraft began flying in late 1952 and after only a few flights proved to be greatly superior in performance to the earlier fighter.\u00a0 In October of that year a U.S. Air Force commission visited France to study the state of the French aircraft industry.\u00a0 They were greatly impressed with the Myst\u00e8re IV and the following year the United States government ordered 225 aircraft through an economic development program designed to encourage the development of the European aviation industry.\u00a0 The aircraft were given as a gift to the French Air Force and went into service beginning in 1954.\u00a0 The Myst\u00e8re IV was also exported to both Israel, and India.\u00a0 In all just over 400 aircraft were built.<\/p>\n
