Ernesto Horacio Crespo

Ernesto Horacio Crespo (8 December 1929 – 6 March 2019)[1][2][3] was an Argentine Brigadier General (Lieutenant General) and former Chief of Staff of the Argentine Air Force.

Early life

In 1982, Crespo, who was the commander of the Fourth Air Force Brigade at the time, was commanded to create, deploy, and command the South Air Force (Шаблон:Lang-es); the military organization that would control both Air Force and Argentine Navy air units that would later take part in the Falklands War.

From 1985 to 1989, he acted as Chief of Staff of the Air Force under presidency of Raúl Alfonsín. During the Carapintadas conflict within the Argentine Army, the Air Force under his command, stood in defense of the democratic government.[4]

During his mandate, the Condor Program was revealed publicly, which was later discontinued in the early 1990s during the Carlos Menem presidency because of political pressure from the United States.[5]

Death

Crespo died on 6 March 2019, at the age of 89.[3][2]
