About this product

Product Information

The Chaco War was probably the first "modern" conflict in Latin America where military aviation was widely used in all roles. Bolivia, as the reader will find out, had a very powerful military air force, but unfortunately for them and luckily for Paraguay, its high army command did not take advantage of it. On the other hand, the Paraguayan Commander-in-Chief, General Jos F lix Estigarribia used military aviation to help him defeat the enemy on the ground, and the result was clear: the Bolivians were expelled from the Chaco after three years of war. Previous publications have focused on the Chaco Air War with the aircraft technical details and almost no information on aerial operations, which is this book's centerpiece. All dogfights and bombing missions mentioned are detailed including crews, aircraft, serials, places and outcomes. The book also describes how both military air forces were organized, how pilots and aviation mechanics were trained, how and where aircraft were purchased and many other unpublished before details. The maps included in the book will help the reader have an idea of where aerial operations took place, both combatants air bases, Bolivia's plan to conquer the whole region and how the Paraguayan Army finally expelled the enemy out of the Chaco. The text is supported by a large number of photographs, and specially commissioned color profile artworks from modelers.

Tom Cooper's 21 color profiles superbly sample the swath of participating warplane warpaint. And six maps help chart actions. Images even include Paraguayan warships... Roundly recommended!, This is a fine reference for anyone wanting to delve into details: names, dates, places, and aircraft serial numbers for every consequential action of the three years of combat are provided., This book should provide readers with an understanding of the Chaco War, and an interesting look at the first use of Air power in the Americas. There is plenty here from those interested in not just conflicts in the air, but Latin American wars as well. Highly Recommended.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Esoteric excellence

    An important collection of photographs and narrative concerning the use of air power by both sides in the Chaco War. Preceding the Spanish Civil War by approximately 10 years, the combatants improvised tactics and strategies, beyond those of the Great War pilots’, yet still limited poor resources and near impossible logistics. This book is the first to illustrate and outline the types flown and how the pilots coped.
