Publisher's Summary
The controversial first-hand account of what really happened in the south Atlantic skies.
Sharkey Ward commanded 801 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Invincible, was senior Sea Harrier adviser to the Command, flew over 60 missions and was awarded DSC. Yet had he followed all his instructions to the letter, Britain might well have lost the Falklands War.
His dramatic first-hand story of the air war in the South Atlantic is also an extraordinary, outspoken account of inter-service rivalries, bureaucratic interference and dangerous ignorance of the realities of air combat among many senior commanders.
As Sharkey Ward reveals, the 801 pilots were fighting not just the enemy, exhaustion and the hostile weather, but also the prejudice and ignorance of their own side.

Action packed account of the air war in the Falklands. I hope today's forces & the interoperability of them learned valuable lessons from this conflict.

Interesting story but distracting narration
An interesting account of the conflict and definitely worth the investment of time to gain a deeper understanding of how it played out. However I found the narration style quite distracting - I was left feeling unsure if the author actually did speak in such an outwardly self-assured tone or whether some journalistic freedoms might have been taken by the narrator! A good story nonetheless.
