Throughout the 1982 conflict, Argentine Air Force and Navy launched many airstrikes against British forces recovering the Falklands. The most famous and successful strikes were against Royal Navy ships. But on 13 June 1982, one day before the War ended, Skyhawks of the 5th Fighter Group attacked what they thought was a concentration of troops west of Port Stanley, the Islands capital. Their target turned out to be much more than just a troop concentration.
