With its distinctive double-cockpit design; the Mi-24 'Hind' is arguably the most recognizable war machine of the Cold War; and has achieved near-legendary status in the annals of military history. The first Soviet helicopter to function as both a gunship and an assault transport; it served extensively in Afghanistan; and is now employed by militaries across the world. Written by an expert on the 'Hind'; and 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. Also included are a number of color plates showing the distinct paint schemes employed by various nations in a range of theaters and for different armies.
