As British troop transports headed towards the Falklands in May 1982, an advance reconnaissance team of SBS troopers discovered an Argentine airstrip on Pebble Island. From this advanced base, the Argentines could launch Pucara ground attack aircraft against the British landing. It was a threat too great to ignore. The task of neutralizing the base was given to Mountain Troop, SAS. On the night of 14 May, while HMS Glamorgan provided a covering bombardment, 45 troopers of D Squadron deployed via helicopter and assaulted the Argentine position. During the ensuing battle, the SAS troopers managed to destroy all of the Pucara aircraft and render the airfield unusable. This book covers all of the details of the battle, from the initial intelligence gathering, through the assault, to an analysis of the raid's impact on the war in general.
