Military History

Try Vulcan 607 by Rowland White. It's the story of how the British got a Vulcan all the way to the Falklands during the war in 1982, bombed the airfield and then flew back to the Ascension Islands. Fabulous story of achieving against all the odds.

One hundred Days - by Admiral Sandy Woodward.

Interesting to read about the Falklands war from his perspective, after he came in for some criticism from Nigel "Sharkey" Ward in the book Sea Harrier over the Falklands. But it seems they met up in later years, put a few few things straight and became friends.

I believe Max Hastings Hastings gave him some grief as well, in regard to how far out to sea he kept the two carriers, maybe forgetting the fact that had we lost even one of them, it would have been game over.
