During 1932, the occupation of the Colombian towns of Leticia and
Tarapaca by Peruvian troops and civilians, in the Amazon region,
led to a conflict that almost ended in a total war between both
countries. Aviation played an important role on both sides, due to
the complicated jungle environment, which makes any land movements
almost impossible. After some ground and air combats, a ceasefire
was agreed and the conflict was resolved. But the war over the
Putumayo area became the baptism of fire for the Peruvian and
Colombian air forces, leading, in the second case, to the
development of its military aviation, which was almost non-existent
in 1932. For Peru, the result of the conflict was also a rearming
process, which proved important when in 1941 it entered into war
with Ecuador. This book is supported by a large number of rare and
previously unpublished images, and specially commissioned colour
profiles showing camouflage and markings.
