Comment by : Air Pictorial Written by the author of
Airlife's excellent General Aviation compendium, this is an equally worthy book
which has been long required, not just on current helicopter types, but also
covering often forgotten designs of past years. . . Well worth acquiring!"
Comment: AIRWAY . . .covers every rotary-wing manufacturer
and its products in fine, yet readable, detail with a wealth of information on
the smaller as well as the better-known builders. Of perhaps the greatest
interest are its listings of the machines actually produced, these ranging from
singles of less successful or experimental types to the massive 5,550 examples
constructed of just the UH-1H variant of the Huey. Well worth a place on the
enthusiast's bookshelf .
Comment: AEROSPACE INTERNATIONAL . . .
a valuable reference book for anyone interested in rotary wing aircraft and
past developments in their manufacture and production."
