April 2nd 2012 marks the 30th anniversary of the invasion of the Falkland Islands. This is the thrilling untold story of the young helicopter pilots -- most barely out of their teens -- who risked their lives during this brief but ferocious war. In April 1982 Harry Benson was a 21 year-old Royal Navy commando helicopter pilot fresh out of training & one of the youngest helicopter pilots to serve in the Falklands War. These pilots nicknamed junglies flew most of the l&-based missions in the Falklands in their Sea King & Wessex helicopters. Much of what happened in the war -- the politics task force ships Sea Harriers landings Paras & Marines -- is well-known & documented. But almost nothing is known of the young commando helicopter pilots & aircrewmen who made it all happen on land & sea. This is their Boys Own story told for the very first time. Harry Benson has interviewed forty of his former colleagues for the book creating a tale of skill initiative resourcefulness humour luck & adventure. This is a fast-paced meticulously researched & compelling account written by someone who was there in the cockpit of a Wessex helicopter. None of these pilots has spoken before about:
- The two helicopter crashes & eventual rescue following a failed SAS mission high up on an in hospitable glacier in South Georgia
- The harrowing story of the Exocet strike that sunk the transport ship Atlantic Conveyor
- The daring missile raid on the Argentine high command in Port Stanley
- The constant mortar fire faced while supporting troops & evacuating casualties
- The hair-raising head-on attacks by Argentine jets on British helicopters
- The extraordinary courage shown during the evacuation of the bombed landing ship Sir Galahad If you liked Apache Vulcan 607 "and " Chickenhawk " youll love " Scram! " The word " Scram" was coined by Falklands helicopter pilots to warn other junglies to go to ground or risk being shot down as Argentinean jets blasted through bomb alley. The term has never been used before or since."
