Reviews

‘’…a superb publication for anyone wanting to know more about the air battles for the Falklands.’’
*FlyPast Magazine*

‘’...this is a remarkably dispassionate and balanced work. I can honestly recommend it for those looking for an unbiased account of the tactical actions of the Falklands War. It is a very approachable book, easy to read, well written and edited.’’
*Naval Review*

"...an engrossing read. A scene-setting section provides the reader with an understanding of the political situation in the early 1980s, along with how the A-4B/C/P Skyhawk was brought into service, initially from land bases, but also on the country’s only aircraft carrier, ARA Veinticinco de Mayo."
