Softcover, large format. Condition: very good condition. Since the Falklands campaign ended in June 1982 many and varied accounts have been published on the performance of the British naval and military equipment deployed in the South Atlantic. Regardless of comments - often highly critical - made about the performance and combat-worthiness of other equipment used there has been universal agreement that the Royal Navy's Sea Harriers and the Royal Air Forces's Harrier GR3s emerged from this, their baptism of fire, with a reputation that is now legendary.
