RAF Chinook Owners' Workshop Manual: An insight into the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the RAF's tandem-rot

Description

The RAFs rugged twin-rotor Chinook support helicopter has been involved in most of the UKs military operations stretching back to the Falklands Conflict, Northern Ireland and in both Gulf Wars, to peacekeeping in Bosnia, operations in Kosovo, the evacuation of Sierra Leone, and most recently its high profile missions in Afghanistan.
