Description
With its tandem, contra-rotating rotors whirling above an aluminum fuselage punctuated by round porthole windows, the Boeing Vertol CH-47 "Chinook" heavy-lift helicopter has become something of an icon - a status it owes in no small part to its long service life of already more than 55 years - a career that some experts predict will ultimately reach a century of service.
This all-new volume explores the development and the U.S. military service of 13 models of "Chinook" from 1958 to date. Included is extensive coverage of the CH-47's use in Vietnam, where the type first gained fame, through "Desert Storm", through current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Additionally, coverage is provided of the helicopters use during various disaster relief efforts. Over 160 archival color photos, augmented by 48 vintage black and white images and numerous line drawings fill 80 pages to present a clear and concise illustrated history of this iconic helicopter.
Neben der Rolle des "Chinook" im militärischen Kontext, wirft das Heft auch einen Blick auf die Verwendung des Hubschraubers im Rahmen des Katastrophenschutzes.
