This work offers a comprehensive chronicle of German helicopter development. Beginning with the historic maiden flight of the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 in 1936, the book traces the development through the groundbreaking designs of the Second World War, the challenging post-war reconstruction, and up to Germany's leading global role as part of Airbus Helicopters in 2026. The focus is not only on the models themselves, but also on the presentation of technological innovations and their significance. Three-view drawings, rare photographs, and technical data provide a complete overview of this important topic in aviation.
