Dassault Aviation’s Centenary Celebration

The roots of Dassault Aviation begin in 1916 with a young man smitten with aviation who had an idea for a better propeller. The company has come a long way since then, and in between that propeller and the Falcon 8X, there has been an amazing, long line of successful military and civilian aircraft. Aviation journalist Miles O’Brien got a chance to fly on the first production aircraft (after the Second World War) to carry the name Marcel Dassault; the legendary Flamant.
