Operation Black Buck 1982: The Vulcans Extraordinary Falklands War Raids
A newly researched, fully illustrated account of how RAF Vulcan bombers flew a series of the world's longest air raids in 1982 against Port Stanley airfield, in a daring, hastily improvised strike against the Argentinian invaders.The RAF's opening shots of the Falklands War were among the most remarkable airstrikes in history. But the nearest British-owned airfield was Ascension Island - 3,900 miles away from the Falklands.Researcher and historian Andrew D. The idea was simple: to destroy the runway at Port Stanley, and prevent Argentinian fast jets using it against the Royal Navy task force.
Packed with spectacular original artwork and rare photos, this book Bird has uncovered new detail of what really made these extraordinary raids possible, including never-before-published information and photos on the discreet support provided by the United States.
