The MiG-21 was the air superiority fighter of the East and virtually all Warsaw Treaty states used this enormously versatile fighter aircraft. In countless versions, the agile machine stood up to its Western counterparts for decades and was a feared opponent. More than 10,000 copies of all variants were produced. This makes the MiG-21 one of the most built fighter aircraft after the 2nd World War to this day. The NVA (National Poeple’s Army) also had around 500 machines in use.The MiG-21 was exported to 43 states, several countries also produced the type under license.

This book traces precisely the career of the Nord 2501 Noratlas from its conception at the end of the 40s until its withdrawal from the final service in the late 80s. Many versions tailored to specific needs were extrapolated, including electronic warfare.
Also reviewed are foreign military users (Germany, Israel, Portugal, Greece, and many African countries), and some civilian companies like UAT and Air Algeria who passed command of the North 2502 versions with extra reactors. Nord Aviation tried to find other opportunities with N.2503 versions, N.2506, N.2508, but too late to be successful.
