Philippe ROSTAING has made a superb piece of workmanship once again. He has just written this file called “French Defence 2009″. This document is rather dedicated to SLP 4 preparation (PLS 4). However, this publication will undoubtedly help those who want to make headway in English as well as in their knowledge of the French military and defence. Click on the book on your left to download French Defence 2009

Contents:

1. French Defence Organization
2. French Defence Policy (including the White Paper 2008)
3. The French Army
4. The French Air Force
5. The French Navy
6. The French Gendarmerie
7. Intelligence and the French Intelligence Community

Mr Rostaing and Prepa PLS anglais are very grateful to LA DOCUMENTATION FRANCAISE and its magazine QUESTIONS INTERNATIONALES. Special thanks to Jean Berton (from La documentation française) who gracefully allowed us to copy paste their brilliant French intelligence community diagram which is available on the 35th Questions Internationales, page 47. For those who want to beg him for the keys of the FRENCH DEFENCE 2009 exercices, they can send him a mail to this address: philippe.rostaing2@laposte.net

Philippe Rostaing teaches military English at the French Air Force Academy (EOAA – Salon de Provence). He was an English teacher at the military college of St Cyr Coetquidan. Last but not least he wrote a fabulous French-English / English-French dictionary of land forces.

François MAGUIN kindly allowed me to post his compact military aviation glossary for quick reference (click on the aircraft and/or the “passenger” below).

Mr Maguin is a highly experienced English teacher at the French air force school of management and administration, and at the EOAA (French Air Force Academy – Salon de Provence) as well. He brilliantly translated Hamlet into French – a best-seller among the bilingual books. He has been involved in many works, groups and projects. This military aviation glossary should regularly be updated, the sky being the limit indeed. This publication is deemed to become no less than a must.

All my gratitude, and heartfelt thanks for all his efforts in supporting me and this blog so many times. Click on the man riding the aircraft above in order to download this military aviation glossary “The sky’s the limit“.
