Desde El Frente (From the Front) a detailed account about the intervention of the BATALLÓN DE INFANTERÍA DE MARINA Nº5 (translation would be 5th MARINE INFANTRY BATTALLION), in Malvinas (Falkland) Islands, in 1982. Written by the commander of the battallion and the collaboration of his Encargado de Batallón (it is roughly the person in charge of the battallion). Spanish only as far as I know.
(thanks Pablo Diez!)
Air War in the South Atlantic, by Ethell and Jeffrey L., with first-hand accounts from both British and Argentian pilots.:
http://www.biblio.com/books/39793989.htmlHostile Skies, by David Morgan, my favourite Sea Harrier book, it is not as technically
in-depth as Ward's book but is more tense and dramatic:

Sea Harrier over the Falklands, by commander Nigel 'Sharkey' Ward, technically in-depth and also a good read:
http://www.amazon.com/Harrier-Falklands-...TF8&s=booksDios y los Halcones, ('God and the Hawks'), by Comodoro Pablo Marcos Rafael Carballo, in '82 was commanding officer of argentinean Grupo 5 de Caza, responsible for heavy losses inflicted in the Task Force, like HMS Coventry and the Fitzroy attack:

Unfortunately only in spanish language and so far released only in Argentina, together with its 'brother' book
Halcones de Malvinas, it's the most comprehensive and complete account of the air war through the argentinean pilots perspective -
Halcones also is built like a series of chronicles describing missions from A-4 Skyhawk pilots, as well as Mirage V Dagger, Pucará, Camberra, C-130 Hercules, helicopter and even air defense garrisons. I got my copy through a friend who travelled in vacations to Buenos Aires. Seems quite rare outside of South America.

Four Weeks In May - The Loss of HMS Coventry - "Four Weeks in May is a riveting account of how men prepare for a war they never expected to fight and how they endure its privations, terrors and, finally, its horrors."
http://www.hmscoventry.co.uk/fourweeksinmay.htmlLast three books are naval warfare-focused but also on our subject since these warships suffered air attacks during the conflict.
