The controversial 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 sixty 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.
