Israel will shortly acquire 60 French jet fighters considered among the fastest and most maneuverable in their class, it was reported here today by “Flying Review,” official publication of the British Royal Air Force.

“Flying Review” said that the planes, Mirage 3-A jets, were speedier and more modern than Mysterey IV, the fastest jet in the Israel Air Force.
