Books with title Apache Helicopters

These army pilots fly the most demanding helicopter in existence. Only 3% of existing army helicopter pilots qualify to fly it. Trainees have to learn to train their eyes to work independently of each other while the right eye sees flight and weapons information in the helmet's monocle, the left eye is free to look outside the aircraft and scan for threats and other obstacles. This book lifts the lid on what life is like for these men and women; their training; the aircraft; the missions, and what its actually like to be under fire while trying to protect soldiers on the ground.

This is a brand new series on the world's most exciting vehicles, sure to appeal to boys of all ages and reading abilities. Visually exciting, highly informative, fun and accessible with photographs, illustrated diagrams and comic strips, this title is full of information on helicopters, from how they work to real-life helicopter missions in wartime. It covers all forms of helicopters from civilian to military used today and throughout history, including the fierce Apache Longbow. Internet-links offer a fascinating selection of recommended websites - with sound, animation, video clips and much more, which provide additional information for projects and homework.
