Missions "Kimono" #22

Two camouflaged fighter jets streak low over a sun-baked desert landscape on this striking cover for Missions Kimono #22, "Aladin" — the lead aircraft's shark-mouth nose art and Libyan-flagged markings making for a genuinely arresting image. Jean-Yves Brouard and Francis Nicol bring their signature aviation realism to what looks like a tense, heat-shimmering intercept mission straight out of 2021. If you've followed this long-running French military aviation series, this twenty-second installment looks every bit as gripping as the missions that came before it.
