Description

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Too much editorializing

This book gives you a good first hand account of the air war in the Falkands. However, the author cannot help himself but constantly interject his views and criticisms of this and that, eg how his ship did things a lot better than the other ship, how everyone but himself and his crew got things wrong, how the military bureaucrats got everything wrong, etc. Some might find that interesting but it should really be part of a separate book. Shame because the account of the war is very good and would have been much better without the non-stop editorializing.
