During 1932, the occupation of the Colombian towns of Leticia and Tarapaca by Peruvian troops and civilians, in the Amazon region, led to a conflict that almost ended in a total war between both countries. Aviation played an important role on both sides, due to the complicated jungle environment.

This book provides intricate details on the military capabilities and intentions of armed forces on both sides, their training, planning, and the conduct of combat operations.
The history of French aircraft and the role of French aviation designers in the development of the Peruvian air force throughout the 20th century. Profusely illustrated with many rare photographs and colour profiles.
