Disputes between Ecuador and Peru are nearly 200 years old and revolve around the question of Ecuador's territory extending beyond the Andes and into the Amazonian basin - or not. Based on diverse interpretations of the Real Cedulas (Royal Proclamations) Spain used to define its colonial territories in the Americas, they became the source of the longest-running international armed conflict in the Western Hemisphere. Despite numerous attempts at a negotiated definition of the borders, the two countries fought no less than three wars during the 20th Century. Tensions dating back to the 19th Century resulted in skirmishes in 1938, which escalated into a war fought in July 1941. Further armed clashes took place in early 1981, and again in 1995. Based on extensive research in the official archives of the Fuerza Aérea del Perú (FAP), as well as documentation from multiple private sources, 'The Air Wars Between Ecuador and Peru, Volume 1' is the story of a little-known and brief, yet intensive and bitter aerial war. Taking place at the time that World War II savaged most of Europe, this conflict has attracted little attention outside Ecuador and Peru - although it is unique as significant for the studies of causes and resolutions of international conflicts: the two countries share not only language, culture, religious preferences, and social and ethnic diversity, but economic difficulties. Moreover, for most of their modern times, they have been democracies. Thus, their wars put in doubt the common contention that 'democracies never go to war with each other'. Using sources from both parties of the conflict, 'The Air Wars between Ecuador and Peru, Volume 1' avoids the usual, biased and one-sided coverage of conflicts between Ecuador and Peru. It provides intricate details on the military capabilities and intentions of armed forces on both sides, their training, planning, and the conduct of combat operations. Moreover, illustrated with over 100 exclusive photographs, most of which have never been published before, half a dozen maps and 15 color profiles, this book provides the first authoritative account of the air warfare between Ecuador and Peru in July 1941. As such it is an indispensable source of reference for professionals and enthusiasts alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737885188369,"sku":"NGR9781911628675","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49850158219537,"sku":"GOR010350269","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911628674.jpg?v=1751632484"},{"product_id":"air-war-over-the-putumayo-book-amaru-tincopa-9781912390236","title":"Air War Over the Putumayo","description":"During 1932, the occupation of the Colombian towns of Leticia and Tarapaca by Peruvian troops and civilians, in the Amazon region, led to a conflict that almost ended in a total war between both countries. Aviation played an important role on both sides, due to the complicated jungle environment, which makes any land movements almost impossible. After some ground and air combats, a ceasefire was agreed and the conflict was resolved. But the war over the Putumayo area became the baptism of fire for the Peruvian and Colombian air forces, leading, in the second case, to the development of its military aviation, which was almost nonexistent in 1932. For Peru, the result of the conflict was also a rearming process, which proved important when in 1941 it entered into war with Ecuador. This book is supported by a large number of rare and previously unpublished images, and specially commissioned color profiles showing camouflage and markings.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738413867281,"sku":"NGR9781912390236","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191239023X.jpg?v=1751630875"},{"product_id":"air-wars-between-ecuador-and-peru-book-amaru-tincopa-9781914059100","title":"Air Wars Between Ecuador and Peru","description":"The series of sharp clashes between Ecuador and Peru of 1981 left the dispute between the two countries unresolved as there was still no definitive delimitation of the border. During the following years, both parties had to deal with a series of internal and external issues and, ultimately, these affected the planning and operational capabilities of their respective armed forces. While Peru underwent a severe economic crisis including hyperinflation caused by poor management of its economy, and a leftist insurgency, Ecuador underwent a transition from a centrally-controlled economy to a free market: in turn, it was one of countries in Latin America least affected by the precipitous fall in regional economic indices of the 1990s. These factors had an immediate impact upon the armed forces of both countries: they proved decisive for the development of their defensive and offensive planning, and would exercise direct influence upon the decisions taken by field commanders of both countries during the final, third war between Ecuador and Peru in 1995. Drawing upon extensive research in the official archives from both the Fuerza Aérea del Ecuador and Fuerza Aérea del Perú (FAP), with documentation from multiple private sources in both countries, Air Wars Between Ecuador and Peru, Volume 3 completes the history of the aerial operations launched by the forces of both nations in the brief - but also the most violent - engagement between these two countries. By accessing details from both parties to the conflict, this volume avoids biased and one-sided coverage of the conflict, while providing detail of the military build-up, capabilities and intentions of both of the air forces involved, their training, planning, and the conduct of combat operations. Illustrated by more than 100 exclusive photographs, half a dozen maps and 15 authentic color profiles, Air Wars Between Ecuador and Peru, Volume 3 provides the first authoritative account of the air warfare between Ecuador and Peru in early 1995.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739841896721,"sku":"NGR9781914059100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1914059107.jpg?v=1751630140"},{"product_id":"guardian-falcons-volume-1-book-amaru-tincopa-9781804518717","title":"Guardian Falcons Volume 1","description":"Recounting in depth never-before-told details of the history of aviation in this South American country, starting with the use of aircraft to provide reconnaissance and intimidate insurgent troops during the second decade of the century, through the brutal use of aviation in urban fighting during the tumultuous 1930s, to its participation in various coups d'état, the reader will discover never before published aviation stories.

In the first chapter, the author narrates how the Peruvian Government took into consideration the experiences gathered after the accomplishments by the diverse nations' Air Arms during the Great War when seeking to provide its own Army and Navy with these brand-new fighting machines. Additionally, the birth and development of Peruvian military aviation doctrines are also covered in depth inside this chapter. The second chapter covers the years 1924-1929 and deals with the advances in naval aviation and the participation of the Army aviation in different training flights across the country; it especially deals with the Government's trend towards the creation of an Army Air Corps as a proper-armed institution. In July of 1928, the Government created the General Inspection of Aviation as the first step to control the commercial, naval and Army aviation, marking an important moment in the history of Peruvian military aviation, as the State manifested its will to put under a single command the training, acquisition processes and organization of the existing aviation-related entities. The unification and expansion of the Air Arm are covered in detail in the third chapter. The author details the unification of military aviation under a unified command structure, therefore giving birth to the Cuerpo de Aviación del Perú by merging the Army and Naval Aviation services, a measure that marked a major step in the history of Peruvian military aviation. From that moment on, Army, Navy and civilian personnel attached to the military branches became Peruvian Air Force pioneers. The fourth chapter describes the CAP operations during the so-called \"Putumayo conflict\". By the end of 1932, a conflict erupted between Colombia and Peru for the possession of border territories on the so-called Amazon trapeze, as well as the small town of Leticia, located on the margin of Amazon River. These were claimed and seized by local Peruvian inhabitants, consequently dragging the CAP into all-out military operations on the Putumayo River, along with Peruvian Army and Navy units. Using primary sources, Peruvian Military Aviation Volume 1 provides intricate details on the birth, early development and activities of the air force of this South American country. Moreover, illustrated by over 200 exclusive photographs, most of which were never published before, half a dozen of maps and 20 colour profiles, this book is providing the first authoritative account of the history of the Peruvian air force history in English language. As such it is an indispensable source of reference for professionals and enthusiasts alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53371527135505,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53371527987473,"sku":"NGR9781806722907","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781806722907.jpg?v=1775157653"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-amaru-tincopa.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
