About this listen

The gripping personal story of a Falklands Fighter Ace.

David Morgan, RAF officer and poet, relives his experiences during the Falklands War in this vivid memoir. On secondment to the Royal Navy when the Argentine invasion of the Falklands began, and personally credited with shooting down two Argentine Skyhawks as well as enemy helicopters, Morgan was later awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Here he recounts his involvement in the first British airstrike against Argentine positions around Port Stanley and describes being first on the scene when enemy jets bombed the landing ships Sir Tristram and Sir Galahad. Including the author's heartfelt letters sent back to England to close family and friends, Hostile Skies dramatically recalls what it was really like to fight, live and love during the Falklands War.

Critic reviews

"Graphically told, this is the story of an intense and fraught conflict enacted on the edge of endurance. Gripping...." (Flypast)

I plead ignorance, as I thought the Falkland’s war lasted a couple of weeks and had few casualties. How wrong I was. Certainly makes you think. Like Britain was in the Second World War, we were out numbered and fighting at a long distance. Yet somehow managed to pull it of ( at a big cost of lives ). This book made me appreciate what others do in order to try to keep us safe.
