Le Trident by Jean-Christophe Carbonel covers the development of the French rocket-powered interceptor SNCASO SO-9000 Trident, designed in response to the atomic bomber threat after World War II. The book traces a decade of research and development from 1948 to 1958, culminating in aircraft capable of reaching Mach 3 speeds. In addition to technical aspects, the author delves into the political controversy surrounding the program’s cancellation and its cultural impact, including appearances in fiction and model-making. With over 220 pages, the book also features color profiles and 1/72 scale plans of the main versions, making it a valuable resource for modelers and aviation historians.
