The Falklands Air War: Sea Harriers, Skyhawks, Bombers, and the Battle for Distance is a clear, fact-based military aviation history of the air campaign that shaped the 1982 Falklands War. Fought in the harsh South Atlantic, the conflict became a test of range, carrier aviation, ship defence, low-level attack, missile warfare, helicopter lift, logistics, weather, and human endurance.
This book explains how British Sea Harriers operating from small carriers defended a task force thousands of miles from home, how Argentine pilots flew Skyhawks, Daggers, Mirages, Canberras, Pucarás, and Super Étendards at the edge of fuel and danger, and how Exocet missiles, Black Buck raids, San Carlos Water, Atlantic Conveyor, HMS Sheffield, and the struggle for Port Stanley revealed the changing nature of air-sea warfare.
Written in plain English for general readers, aviation enthusiasts, military-history readers, naval-history readers, and students, the book avoids myth and national bias. It respects the courage of personnel on both sides while explaining the hard operational realities that made the Falklands air war one of the most intense and instructive air campaigns of the late twentieth century.
