What is the gist of the 3 differing accounts? I have only read the one in Sea Harrier over the Falklands, which I seem to recall as a report from a ship of a blip on the radar screen, Sharky instantly turning to intercept, ID, AIM-9 and cannon fire. Thank you.

I did enjoy the book immensely by the way (and other books from those that were there). Each provides a unique perspective, and personalities and perceptions do creep more into some accounts more than others.
