The Pucara Story by Ricardo Caballero

The Pucara Story by Ricardo Caballero

The Argentine-designed and -built IA-58 Pucara light attack aircraft was developed in the late 1960s in response to a requirement drawn up by the Argentine Air Force. After a long developmental period the design went into series production in 1974. The aircraft remains in active service to this day, with the FAA and with several foreign air forces. Best known for its involvement in the Falklands Conflict in 1982, the Pucara remains an effective and much appreciated warplane. This book tells the full story of the development and operational use of the Pucara, including the many upgrades and redesigns.

"Tables, charts and FS 595 matches admirably amplify the accountAnd dozens of color plates, color & B&W photos, drawings, and detail shots add valuable visual reference.

"This book is the only English language reference that I am aware of and it has been so carefully researched that it took about 10-yr to write. Both authors are modelers, and wrote the book with a "modeler mindset"....This book is probably one of the best references on the Pucara, in any language. Highly recommended."--IPMS/USA
