Andrew Morten examines the history, capabilities and roles of the many different helicopters used by the British Armed Forces.
The military helicopter has been a hugely important asset for all of the UK’s armed forces for over six decades. In service with the Fleet Air Arm, the Army Air Corps and the RAF, their flexibility has allowed them to fulfil many different roles including troop transport, heavy lifting and reconnaissance.
On land, they also perform the invaluable role of rescuing casualties from the battlefield, where the helicopter is the only method of quick extraction to a field hospital. At sea, the helicopter’s vertical take-off and landing capability has made them an ideal companion to many of the Royal Navy’s ships, where they fulfil the crucial roles of search and rescue, and anti-submarine warfare.
From the diminutive Westland Wasp to the mighty twin-rotor Boeing Chinook, this book looks at the history, capabilities and roles of the many different helicopters used by the British Armed Forces.

Andrew Morten has had a lifelong interest in computers after teaching himself how to program at the age of 15. This led to a career in electronics and software design, and he worked on a number of projects, both in the commercial and defence sectors, at several large engineering companies such as Plessey, Racal and GE.
