037 OPERATION BLACK BUCK 1982: The Vulcans' Extraordinary Falklands War Raids

1-968037

Examines British RAF airstrikes against Argentinian forces and infrastructure in opening moments of Falklands War -- with nearest British-owned airfield on Ascension Island 3,900 miles away. Includes original artwork and rare photos and explains how these hugely complex, yet completely improvised raids were launched. Also explains how the last of the Vulcans, only a few months away from the scrapyard, had to be hastily re-equipped with bombsights, electronics and navigation systems 'borrowed' from other aircraft to carry conventional bombs.
