Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. From the jungles of Vietnam to the armoured battlefields imagined during the Cold War, from the AH-1 Cobra and AH-64 Apache to the Mi-24 Hind, Ka-52, Tiger, Mangusta, Rooivalk, and T129, attack helicopters changed the meaning of battlefield air power. The Attack Helicopter: Armour, Missiles, and the Low-Level Battlefield from Above is a clear, fact-based history of the aircraft that brought guns, rockets, guided missiles, armour, sensors, and human crews into the dangerous space just above the ground. Written in plain English for general readers, aviation enthusiasts, military-history readers, and students, this book explains how helicopters evolved from observation, rescue, and transport machines into specialised aircraft built for escort, close support, anti-tank warfare, armed reconnaissance, convoy protection, and low-level combat. The book examines the Vietnam War and the rise of helicopter gunships, the AH-1 Cobra as the first widely recognised purpose-built attack helicopter, the Apache's Cold War anti-armour mission and night-fighting reputation, and the Soviet Mi-24 Hind's distinctive blend of firepower, armour, speed, and troop-carrying capability. It also explains missiles, rockets, cannon fire, terrain masking, crew roles, sensors, maintenance, vulnerability, urban warfare, drones, loitering munitions, and the uncertain future of rotary-wing combat. Balanced and accessible, this is not a celebration of war or a technical manual. It is the story of a powerful but vulnerable machine: an aircraft shaped by doctrine, technology, crews, maintainers, soldiers, civilians, and the changing realities of modern ground war. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. AI (illustrator).…
