Hello chopper2004 and megan and sorry for showing so late.

In fact, I have co-written an essay on the Army Aviation Reserve (this helicopters...) during the 1982 conflict, which I understand will be published shortly.

This was really a mixed effort: Civilian helicopters, with Army marking; Civilian pilots and aircrew with Argentine Air Force ranks, flying surveillance missions over the sea!

The Dauphin were, late in the war, handed to the Navy. One of the pilots of Schreiner left the country after that and told the British some "secrets"(I've the debrief sent to British Intelligence somewhere...)

How can I help in this topic?

Best regards!
Mariano
