[edit] AIR WAR IN THE FALKLANDS 1982
Argentina's continuing claim to sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, against Britain, was still in the hands of the United Nations when in 1982, Argentine troops seized the islands in a lightning raid. This title gives first hand accounts from combat veteran pilots of the battles that transpired.
Having been abandoned by Spain, the Fall-dands, a dot in the South Atlantic on the edge of Antarctica, were resettled by Argentina in 1820. The British then arrived and occupied the islands in 1833, and Argentina's continuing claim to sovereignty was in the hands of the United Nations in 1982 when Argentine troops seized the islands in a lighting raid. The British responded with a task force but it took them two and a half months of fierce fighting before they retook the islands. The long-range logistics of the conflict for the RAF, the difficult conditions in the South Atlantic and the successes and failures of British tactics make fascinating reading.
