'HE WAS AT ABOUT ZERO FEET... BEFORE HE COULD START TO PULL ROUND I PUT MY SIGHT ON HIS COCKPIT, PRESSED THE FIRING BUTTON, AND AS THE FIRST ROUND STRUCK, THE AIRCRAFT EXPLODED. JUST DISINTEGRATED.' On April 2, 1982 Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. Three days later a Royal Navy Task Force set sail on an epic eight-thousand mile journey to recapture them. The South Atlantic War that followed remains one of the most remarkable conflicts of the modern era. In the air, a handful of carrier-based Sea Harrier jump jets faced the massed ranks of the Argentine Air Force fast jet squadrons and the Excocet-armed jets of the Argentine naval air arm. If the British Top Guns failed in their effort to protect the fleet, the war would be lost.Drawing on extensive interviews with pilots from both sides, Ethell and Price weave together the dogfights, record-breaking RAF Vulcan bomber raids, daring low-level attacks on warships and top secret helicopter missions behind enemy lines into the definitive story of a do-or-die struggle for supremacy in hostile skies. AIR WAR SOUTH ATLANTIC is a classic. If you like Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, Stephen Coonts, Max Hastins, Dan Hampton, Adam Makos, Mitchell Zuckoff, John Nicholl and Rowland White, you'll love AIR WAR SOUTH ATLANTIC as well as the other books in Ethell and Price's Air War Trilogy. 'One of the best accounts of aerial combat there's ever been. An astonishing, gripping and powerful recreation of an unlikely and distant clash of wings. A masterpiece of military history' Rowland White, author of Vulcan 607 'A gem of a book... intensely personal, heart-thumping accounts of air-to-air combat that exalt the ingenuity, teamwork, tactics and coolness of the British air warriors as much as they do their aircraft and weapons' Washington Post 'Exciting and authoritative. More than a good story well told. A must-read for action buffs' Military Review 'What an outstanding book! Exceptional, exciting, definitive' Naval War College Review For fans of Top Gun, The Flight of the Intruder, The Dambusters, The Battle of Britain, Air America and The Flight of the Old Dog.
