Historical Overview and Application

The Super Etendard is a French carrier-based attack aircraft that entered service between 1978–2016. It is best known for its role in the 1982 Falklands (Malvinas) War, where Argentine Super Etendards gained fame for their effective attacks on British Royal Navy vessels.
