The French not wanting to sell to Germany, including Monsieur Dassault, is a myth. The West germans even sent a test pilot, Walter Krupinski, to fly the pre-series Mirage III, but since it was underpowered and not yet close to what the Luftwaffe wanted, they backed away.

@Simon The F-104G should never have been bought. It was a pure interceptor, and unsuited for pretty much everything else it wa supposed to do in the Luftwaffe (naval strike fighter, fighter bomber, nuke delivery platform). It was also extremely unforgiving to pilot error. While General...

Somebody brought up the Mirage III as an alternative to the Lawn Dart/Widowmaker/flying piece of shit F-104G. Yes. A thousand times yes! Maybe Franz-Josef Strauß gets a bit more money and mistresses from the French and dumps Lockheed...

Moving the goal posts, are we?
