Operation Black Buck was a series of seven ambitious long-distance ground-attack missions conducted by the Royal Air Force during the Falklands War in 1982. It was the RAF's most daring attack since 'Operation Chastise' - the Dambusters raid in WWII. 30 April - 1 May 1982: Vulcan XM607 made the first Black Buck sortie to the Falkland Islands to make an attack on Port Stanley airfield. XH558's Chief Pilot, Flight Lieutenant Martin Withers, carried out that first raid.

Martin and the crew of Vulcan XM607 flew the first and last of the missions. SIGNED 'Martin Withers' to the front cover. Four cachet inserts. 44 Squadron Orderly Room R.A.F.
