DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION

Helicopters is a fascinating and informative guide to more than 120 of the most important rotorcraft ever designed. Its information-packed pages cover a broad range of helicopters, from early experimental autogyros and basic designs like the Sikorsky R-4 to all-time classics like the Bell UH-1, the famous "Huey" that became the workhorse of the Vietnam War.

Among the rotorcraft featured are:

The Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri, one of the world's first operational helicopters, used by the Germans in World War II

The McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache, used to devastating effect in combat in Iraq and the Balkans

The Mil Mi-24 Hind D, one of the most effective assault helicopters of all time

Each helicopter is covered in detail, with feature boxes outlining its development, technical specifications, performance data, and variants. Unique graphics allow you to compare specific features like top speed, troop-carrying capacity, and payload to those of other aircraft of the same type.

With a wealth of essential information on every page, Helicopters is a must have for aircraft lovers of all ages.
