Reviews for Vietnam War Helicopter Art: Vol. 2, U.S. Army Rotor Aircraft (Stackpole Military Photo Series)
This spectacular collection of contemporary photographs features not only a huge variety of helicopter nose art, but also artwork applied to rocket pods, gun turrets and even individual crew stations. Given the age of the original images, the standard of reproduction is excellent and the majority of the photographs are in colour.
