Product Information
The Haynes Falklands War Operations Manual looks at the planning and logistics that made the whole operation possible. It considers how the naval Task Force was raised and assembled in rapid time, the adaptation and conversion of the liners QE2, Canberra and Uganda for war service in the South Atlantic, the logistics of the long voyage south, how Ascension Island became a 24/7 staging post and operations hub for the Task Force, the use of air power (in particular the RAF Harrier and RN Sea Harrier), the RAFs air-to-air refuelling tanker aircraft that made much of the air component of the operation feasible, the epic Black Buck Vulcan bomber raid on Stanley; ships, landing craft, helicopters, weapons and equipment, and how the re-supply operation kept the fuel, food and ammunition flowing across 7,878 miles of ocean.Product Identifiers

Glaring basic mistakes
Even a cursory flick through has glaring errors. 1. An "O" boat clearly a diesel electric submarine classed as a nuclear submarine in a photo caption when the signature 2001 sonar is clearly visible. 2. HMS Fearless was not sunk as detailed in the Royal Navy casualty list. 3. No walruses were shot by either side as walruses only live in the northern hemisphere. Was quite looking forward to this book but think I will just put it straight on the shelf. Do not waste time and money on it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
