Talk Outline
The Falklands War was predominantly a land and naval conflict, but air power played a distinct and significant role. For over thirty years, the history of the air war was dominated by coverage of the Fleet Air Arm’s Sea Harriers, Operation ‘Black Buck’, and the work of ‘Bravo November’, the only Chinook helicopter to survive the sinking of the Atlantic Conveyor.
It has, though, become clear from the release of the Official History and most of the contemporary files that much of the air war has been subject to some misunderstanding and misrepresentation or largely overlooked. This talk looks at the use of air power during the war as a whole and examines how air operations contributed to Britain’s victory during the war.
Location
The lecture will take place at the University of Wolverhampton, in the MA Wulfruna Building, on Thursday 5 May 2022. This lecture will begin at 5.15PM.
