An attack helicopter configured with missiles, rockets, machine guns and cannon, the Black Hawk is also capable of undertaking a wide range of missions on the battlefield, including troop transport, command and control and aeromedical evacuation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the Black Hawk is commonly associated with the 1993 disaster in Mogadishu, this book looks past Hollywood interpretations to investigate the design, development and operations of what is arguably the most important helicopter in the world today, with fantastic full-colour digital artwork and up-to-date information about the Black Hawk's role in Iraq. Also examined are the more unconventional missions the Black Hawk has been used in, from drug-busting operations in South America to peacekeeping operations around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56160136855896,"sku":"9781841768526","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781841768526_e59c648e-d7ef-41a0-a334-dd22a73736c6.jpg?v=1778740235","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sikorsky-uh-60-black-hawk","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
