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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very good introduction to arguably the most recognized attack helicopter in history. For those wanting passing information on the subject this is a good book. For those wanting more this is a good intro, which I would follow with Yefim Gordon's book on the Hind.
