Sadly, as a result of Argentina's more recent economic woes and a lack of political commitment over more three decades, it is now struggling to maintain its capabilities and replace old aircraft. Ironically, this situation makes for a varied and interesting aviation scene, with Argentine military aviation flying many classic types that are not easy to see in operation today with a military force, as well as some less-common indigenous aircraft. Illustrated with more than 140 photographs, this book shines a spotlight on the Argentine Air Force, Naval Aviation and Army Aviation, as well as the paramilitary forces of the Coast Guard, Gendarmerie and Presidential Flight. Author Santiago Rivas gives a fascinating insight into their histories, comprehensive details of their current organization, their missions and the aircraft they operate, and full 'orders of battle' for each air arm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Key Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45048455594135,"sku":"9781913870928","price":1330.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781913870928.webp?v=1769222718","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/air-forces-of-latin-america-argentina-9781913870928","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
