Sikorsky H-34: An Illustrated History (Paperback)

Originally designed in 1952 as an anti-submarine warfare platform
for the U.S. Navy, almost two-thousand Sikorsky H-34s have served
on every continent with the armed forces of twenty-five countries -
from combat in Algeria, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and
throughout southeast Asia, to saving flood victims, recovering
astronauts, fighting fires, and carrying presidents, military H-34s
have met every challenge handed them. With continuing post-military
service, the number of countries which the H-34 has called home has
swelled to nearly fifty. Revitalized with turbine engines, it has
yet to fade from sight. Whether lifting construction material or
supporting police departments, the DC-3 of helicopters will still
be flying on its fiftieth anniversary. The most detailed account of
the H-34 to appear, Lennart Lundh's Sikorsky H-34 reflects over a
decade of research. It takes the reader through the H-34 from nose
to tail, and across its service from Argentina to Vietnam. Few of
the photographs have been published before, and many are drawn from
private collections. A special feature is the chapter of
impressions and anecdotes from fourteen H-34 crew members.
