AK Book The Huey In Vietnam America's UH-1 At War - English
The AK Interactive book The Huey In Vietnam: America's UH-1 At War covers the Bell UH-1 Huey, a helicopter originally developed in the 1950s as a medical evacuation aircraft. Turbine power turned it into an enduring symbol of the Vietnam War, where the UH-1 played a vital role in U.S. Army doctrine from 1962 until the American withdrawal in 1973. The Huey also served as a troop transport, gunship and airborne command post within two elite airmobile divisions. In the medevac role it exceeded expectations, and in troop transport it quickly replaced earlier piston-engined helicopters. Its versatility led the U.S. Marine Corps, the USAF and the U.S. Navy to operate the Huey in Vietnam alongside the Army.
The volume runs to 360 pages in hard cover, is published in English and was written by MP Robinson and Peter Lau. Alongside the text it offers a wealth of photographic material, colour profiles of units active in Vietnam and documentation of the individual variants of the Model 204 and Model 205 families, which progressively received more powerful engines. It is aimed at readers interested in military history, helicopter enthusiasts and modellers looking for visual references for building and painting UH-1 kits. The title belongs to the AK Interactive series devoted to American equipment in Vietnam, which also includes American Armor in Vietnam and American Artillery in Vietnam.
