Περιγραφή για Scram!: The Gripping First-hand Account of the Helicopter War in the Falklands Harry Benson Arrow Books Ltd

In April 1982 Harry Benson was a 21-year-old Royal Navy commando helicopter pilot, fresh out of training and one of the youngest helicopter pilots to serve in the Falklands War. These pilots, nicknamed \'junglies\', flew most of the land-based missions in the Falklands in their Sea King and Wessex helicopters. Much of what happened in the war - the politics, task force ships, Sea Harriers, landings, Paras and Marines - is well-known and documented. But almost nothing is known of the young commando helicopter pilots and aircrewmen who made it all happen on land and sea. This is their \'Boys Own\' story, told for the very first time. Harry Benson has interviewed forty of his former colleagues for the book creating a tale of skill, initiative, resourcefulness, humour, luck, and adventure. This is a fast-paced, meticulously researched and compelling account written by someone who was there, in the cockpit of a Wessex helicopter. If you liked Apache, Vulcan 607 and Chickenhawk, you\'ll love Scram! The word \"Scram\" was used to warn other junglies to go to ground or risk being shot down by their own side as Argentinean jets blasted through \'bomb alley\'. Σελίδες: 432, Διαστάσεις: 13x13cm
