Batailles aériennes de la Guerre d'Indochine. De Na San à Dien Bien Phu

As part of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, this book deals with the fighting in its aerial aspect, which is rarely considered in existing works. This is to forget that Dien Bien Phu is also a battle in the air, conceived thanks to the observations of the victory of Na San a year earlier and the commitments made to keep the runway open. In Dien Bien Phu as in Na San, the plane is at the heart of the camp's defense system. The aeronautical approach to the battle allows us to understand the vision of the French command but above all to better understand the strategy of the Vietminh against the entrenched camp.
