Reviews for Sea Harrier FRS 1 vs Mirage III/Dagger: South Atlantic 1982
The book is superbly illustrated with great photos and art work. It is a very good read with lots of pilot stories and a good overall look at the war along with an assessment of the conflict. Very much worth picking up. - Modelling Madness
