Teodoro Guillermo Waldner (born 1927)[1] is a retired Argentine Air Force commander who served as Air Force Chief of the General Staff from 1983 to 1985.[2]
According to the Argentine newspaper El Diario, during the Falklands War, Waldner led a mission to Libya and brought back weapons and missiles from Gaddafi's regime.[3] After the war, in 1983 Waldner became the first head of the Air Force since the return of democracy to Argentina and was styled as a chief of staff as opposed to a commander-in-chief.[4] In 1985, Waldner was appointed as Chief of Joint Staff of the Armed Forces, a position he held until his retirement in 1989.[5]
