The series of sharp clashes between Ecuador and Peru of 1981 left
the dispute between the two countries unresolved as there was still
no definitive delimitation of the border. During the following
years, both parties had to deal with a series of internal and
external issues and, ultimately, these affected the planning and
operational capabilities of their respective armed forces. While
Peru underwent a severe economic crisis including hyperinflation
caused by poor management of its economy, and a leftist insurgency,
Ecuador underwent a transition from a centrally-controlled economy
to a free market: in turn, it was one of countries in Latin America
least affected by the precipitous fall in regional economic indices
of the 1990s. These factors had an immediate impact upon the armed
forces of both countries: they proved decisive for the development
of their defensive and offensive planning, and would exercise
direct influence upon the decisions taken by field commanders of
both countries during the final, third war between Ecuador and Peru
in 1995. Drawing upon extensive research in the official archives
from both the Fuerza Aerea del Ecuador and Fuerza Aerea del Peru
(FAP), with documentation from multiple private sources in both
countries, Air Wars Between Ecuador and Peru, Volume 3 completes
the history of the aerial operations launched by the forces of both
nations in the brief - but also the most violent - engagement
between these two countries. By accessing details from both parties
to the conflict, this volume avoids biased and one-sided coverage
of the conflict, while providing detail of the military build-up,
capabilities and intentions of both of the air forces involved,
their training, planning, and the conduct of combat operations.
Illustrated by more than 100 exclusive photographs, half a dozen
maps and 15 authentic colour profiles, Air Wars Between Ecuador and
Peru, Volume 3 provides the first authoritative account of the air
warfare between Ecuador and Peru in early 1995.
