Kylie Newton reviews Osprey Publishing 'Operation Black Buck 1982 The Vulcans' extraordinary Falklands War raids written by Andrew D. Bird
Cool title. I remember hearing about those missions on the nightly news, even reading some accounts of them over the decades. Back in the '80s or early '90s I read the book Air War South Atlantic, but what I remember about it is it was mainly about the Harriers and I don’t remember much about the Black Bucks. . Ths sounds like a very interesting read.
I’d thoroughly recommend Vulcan 607 by Rowland White. A great read about the first Black Buck mission.
This looks like it could be a good all round read about the raids. Personally I want to find out a little more about the later anti radar raids. Somewhere in the attic I have the old tool Airfix Vulcan put aside for just that project. And now that I have the twin Shrike rails spare from the Trumpeter F-105, I finally have all the bits!
