Part 32.
BRITISH
SUCCESSES AGAINST ARGENTINE
SHIPS and AIRCRAFT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the war approached a
speedy end this is a convenient place to summarise the
British successes against Argentine sea and air forces.
None of the "scores" are official, some no
doubt are open to argument, and of course only give a
limited indication of the contribution made by each of
the main front-line units.
All squadron pilots
receiving gallantry awards are also listed.
