Beneath the brilliant sun, the formidable Libyan Air Force Mirage 5, serial 502, rests on the tarmac, its sand and green camouflage blending into the harsh desert backdrop. This atmospheric 5 7/8 x 4-inch photograph, produced on Fujifilm Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, captures a unique moment of aviation history, where global tensions and national ambitions converged in the design and deployment of this powerful fighter jet.

This authentic aviation photograph, previously lightly mounted with double-sided tape and offered here in decent, collector-worthy condition, provides a rare visual record of a Dassault Mirage 5 operated by Libya during the Cold War era. Developed from the iconic Mirage III, the Mirage 5 series delivered enhanced ground-attack capabilities, and aircraft like 502 served as key elements of Libya’s aerial strategy during a complex and turbulent time in regional history.

Owning this photograph is to preserve a vivid chapter of Cold War aviation, technological achievement, and strategic ambition. For collectors, historians, and aviation enthusiasts alike, it stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the world’s most recognisable fighter designs, and to the air forces that shaped 20th-century skies.
