French title card
In French, the series is known as Bomber X and was dubbed in 1983 by Saban Entertainment. It first aired on September 21, 1983 on TF1's Vitamine block.
The French version contained newly composed music by Shuki Levy in addition to the original music. As a result, sometimes original sound effects are lacking in certain scenes, if the new music is replacing an old music sequence.
Halfway through the series, the dub went on hiatus and many of the voice cast did not return for the second half of the series.
