The Falklands

I have been digging for a book that I had of cartoons drawn by the Army to help morale. There was a brilliant one of a Para 'explaining' to a blowpipe operator why he should be carefull of where they come down. Unfortunately I cannot find it.

Pity as there were some very good cartoons.

I think considering what they had to work with the British did exceptionally well. They were lucky even to have the Harriers if I understand what the official opinion was of carriers!! As far as I know there are only two major countries that still use conventional carriers: Russia and the US. The whole thing was that they had to make do with what they could get. It would have been embarrassing for Britian to have to get the Americans involved so they could have air support from conventional aircraft. They did a very effective job. It is not the aircraft or its capabilities that make it deadly but the pilot in charge, to a certain extent. In Finland Buffalos were downing Bf-109s in the right pilot's hands. Britain had the right pilots and gave them the right training. Argentia blinked at this game, where Britain had called its deadly bluff. Argentia simply did not have the will to go all out to destroy the British totally- there were too many worries about other countries such as the USA crying "Unfair Play" and rushing in shooting on the British side. Quite simply Argentia was playing a last roll of the dice in the Falklands to save its face.
