This book is about the first " modern" Air war in Latin America. Were there pre-modern air wars? |

It doesn't say modern air war, it says modern war where airpower was used. That said I don't know enough about South American history to say what other modern wars there were. Though the US did use aircraft against Pinch Villa if that counts. |

Not to be pedantic, but isn't it actually Pincho Villa? |

Vig, I was just reading what is said on the cover. " The first modern air war in Latin America " I don't think the war against Poncho Villa was an actual air war. did Poncho have AirPower? well I guess I did see a Robert Mitchum movie about it. No dog fights between him and Jennys that Pershing had, however. |

Regardless, it looks like an interesting book. |

" The first modern air war in Latin America " Wikipedia says: The Chaco War was the first major Latin American conflict in which aircraft were used. |

My apologies for reading the text not the cover, blame it on the 3 day headache following a tooth extraction. As for "Pinch Villa" blame that on TMP's bizarre spell checker. |

Yes TMP has a spell checker. |
