About This Item
From the d.j.: "The pre-eminence of the helicopter as a modern naval and military tool was spectacularly demostrated with its successes in the Falklands and the vital part it played in the victorious outcome. From da Vinci to Sikorsky, the early stages of the helicopter's history are briefly outlined; detailed analysis of the craft's development begins with the experiments of the 1940's and the first true operational use in Korea. Since then the unique potential of the helicopter has been exploited to the full, and this book describes both its contributions in the Suez crisis and after, and its newer roles including its functions as a counter-insurgency and anti-tank weapon. International in scope and illustrated with 128 photographs this is the definitive account of the startling advance of one of today's most versatile military weapons."
