Lock On No. 16 : Mi-24W Hind E Gunship

Rating:
Summary: FULL COLOR TOUR
Review: Want to see a HIND E up close and personal (in full color)? Then order up this 36 page book that takes you around the outside, up into the engine compartments, down into both cockpits, and finally into the crew cabin. The captions do an excellent job of explaining what it is that you're looking at while also giving you a little developmental history. If you need more information on the other variations of the HIND then check out either Mike Spick's Mil Mi-24 HIND (Osprey's Combat Aircraft Series #14) or Hans-Heiri Stapfer's Mi-24 HIND In Action (Squadron/Signal Publications' Aircraft #83). For more on design, development, and tactics look for John Everett-Heath's Soviet Helicopters (Jane's, 2nd Ed). While those 3 books delve further into this spectacular aircraft, Robert Senkowski and Cezary Piotrowski deliver the visual goods here with Lock On #16. Where's my flight helmet?
