This latest authoritative work of reference to join the Warpaint series charts the rise of the helicopter in both military and civilian use throughout the vast territories of the Soviet Union from the mid-1950s. The Mi-4 was the first successful series production type, and its widespread use with the Soviet Army and Navy saw fundamental changes to tactics and doctrine.
Lavishly illustrated with original images, the story unfolds in detail and tells how the Mi-4 went on to serve globally, ranging from China to Cuba, through Africa, India, and the Middle East, and was to remain ubiquitous both in military and civilian use throughout the Eastern Bloc, and with Soviet client states across the World.
The 88-page book tells of the aircraft's inception, development, and all the many facets of its long service. Few aircraft can have achieved so much yet remained so unsung, but author Jakub Fojtik brings the story to life with a comprehensive and informed text that makes this book the definitive reference on the type, including all the usual Warpaint features, with artwork and scale drawings by Sam Pearson.
