Mistress Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Does anyone know where I can get a book on the history of helicopters or better still an illustrated encyclopedia of helicopters? I have checked out ebay and amazon but not quite what I was after. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnh Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hi ,have you tried Ian Allan publishing, Crowoods used to do a good hardback one , you will find a lot of 'model specific' stuff though. If you get a copy of Flypast magazine there are plenty of book supplier ads in there, Try Pen and Sword they sourced books for us when we started on the Sycamore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Rimmer Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Ok,I need to go through my stored books but I'm sure I have something like that. It might also be worth talking to the folks at The Helicopter Museum at Weston Super Mare as they may have some suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
