What is his target and will he survive the defences alerted of his intentions? Crucially, will his plan wreck delicate negotiations between Britain and Argentina designed to mend strained relations? Are Government officials charged with protecting the islanders' interests worthy of that trust or are more sinister motives in play?

Maverick: (Phantom Air Combat #3)

Gledhill takes you into air to air combat with all the bells and whistles that you can get. It's a great story about British airmen, their support troops and a rouge pilot help-bent on revenge, going back to the Falklands to make his point, but "Revenge is never sweet" and things go horribly wrong. Thanks for another great read.
