Argentine pilots break silence over World War Two
Webmaster:
Well it's recommended to browse through the whole gallery. Very nice artwork, I especially like the ones with the Phantoms and Hueys, it seems it's easier to do for the artist than the A-4s which look a bit crooked sometimes. The WWII ones are very nice as well.

Well, how's your math? 1940-1945 to 1982, 37-42 years later, so around 60. From what I've read the one(s) that still flew during the Falklands were flight commanders for transport flights, dropping supplies and troops on the islands. Of course dangerous, difficult, exciting, etc., but not as bad as being 60 and flying a Mirage III. I don't know if any of the WWII veterans did that.

Here is the page of the book Firmes volamos. Sorry, it's only in Spanish :-\. But there's a link (look for a blue, like this frase: click aqui) from which you can download a trailer.

Raptor has a bit of trouble with Common Sense...
Wouldnt the only WWII fighters been like high end commanders by that time if they stayed in the military?
