Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This big book widely illustrated with 226 photos and profiles tells the evolution of the legendary Bell AH-1 Cobra. Author Lüdeke describes in detail the quick and successful development of the sleek Model 209 and how it solved the dramatic lack of an effective CAS on the Vietnam theatre. Notwithstanding the common matrix with the simple UH-1 Huey (the AH-1G and UH-1C had 80 % of parts in common) the Cobra evolved during the years in a very effective and devastating battle tank of the air and the text tells in an authoritative and straightforward style the long way from the AH-1G to the AH-1Z. The other chapters treat all the variants and their combat records, from the Vietnamese jungles to the Iraqi deserts and the Hindukush valleys in Afghanistan. All the Cobras export users are also described, and beautiful and rare shots contribute to a nice book on a true legend of the air." - Marco De Montis, Aerospace Journalist.
