Summary
Scram is a firsthand account of the Royal Navy helicopter operations during the 1982 Falklands War. Author Harry Benson, a former naval pilot, recounts the intense and often overlooked role helicopters played in the conflict. The book details dangerous missions including troop transport, casualty evacuation, and anti-submarine warfare conducted in harsh South Atlantic conditions. Benson provides personal insights into the challenges faced by aircrew, the improvisation required in combat, and the camaraderie among pilots. The narrative offers readers an insider perspective on this crucial but previously undertold aspect of the Falklands campaign.
