History & design
Three roles in one aircraft family
SNCASO developed the Vautour around an early-1950s attack requirement, then pursued all-weather fighter and bomber versions. The resulting family comprised the single-seat IIA, tandem-seat IIN fighter and IIB bomber. Ailes Anciennes Toulouse records production at Saint-Nazaire and different service careers for those three configurations.

From front-line squadrons to test work
The IIN entered French all-weather fighter service in 1957 and was replaced by the Mirage F1 in 1973. The IIB served from 1958 to 1978, including reconnaissance and bomber-crew training. Some Vautours subsequently supported flight-test work. Toulouse’s IIB arrived in 1981 from the Cazaux test centre.
