Britain's Military Helicopters

Britain's Military Helicopters Modern Military Aircraft Series, Volume 4

A key component in any armed force, helicopters operate in a range of roles. Thanks to their ability to go anywhere and operate from locations as diverse as landing pads hacked out of the rainforest or the pitching deck of a frigate, the helicopter adds a flexibility unknown to armed forces in the past. This bookdescribes the evolution of the helicopter in British service, from their beginnings with the Sikorsky R-4B test flown by Fleet Air Arm pilots in the USA to the latest Merlin Crowsnest, Chinook and Apache Guardian. Lavishly illustrated throughout, it includes many previously unpublished photographs.
