Over the Falkland Islands in May 1982 - an aerial duel was unfolding. The British pilots needed to protect their carrier, her escorts and their landing force from marauding Argentine strike aircraft, but it wasn’t going to be easy, as the Harriers were targeted constantly by Daggers and Mirage IIIs, with missiles, cannon shells and countermeasures filling the sky.
So, who came out on top? Which combination of aircraft, training, weapons and tactics was superior? The best pilots on both sides flying the most capable fighter aircraft their countries could offer, with only one objective: get the other guy before he gets you.
