Mil Mi-24 Hind Gunship
Description
With its distinctive double-cockpit design, the Mi-24 'Hind' is arguably the most recognizable war machine of the Cold War, and has achieved near-legendary status in the annals of military history.
The first Soviet helicopter to function as both a gunship and an assault transport, it served extensively in Afghanistan, and has been employed by militaries across the world for many years since. Written by an expert on the 'Hind', an drawing on manufacturing and military sources, this book presents the Mi-24 in all of its brutal glory, from design and development to deployment and combat.
Also included are a number of color plates showing the distinct paint schemes employed by various nations in a range of theaters and for different armies.
