Description
The helicopter came on the scene too late to play other than a minor role in the Second World War but by the Korean conflict the Bell H-13 "Sioux", OH-23 "Raven" and Sikorsky H-19 "Chickasaw" were in service. It was in Vietnam that the US military helicopters really came into their own and the best known were the Bell UH-1 "Iriquois" (known as the "Huey"), the Boeing CH-47 "Chinook" and the massive CH-37 "Mojave". The USAF combat search and rescue Jolly Green Giant was indispensable. Attack helicopters have evolved from the early Huey "Cobra" or "Snake" and the Boeing AH-64 "Apache" came into service in the late 80s when the Sikorsky UH-60 series became the military general purpose chopper. All these formidable aircraft and many more are covered in detail in this superbly illustrated and comprehensive book.
