With continuing post-military service, the number of countries which the H-34 has called home has swelled to nearly fifty. Revitalized with turbine engines, it has yet to fade from sight. Whether lifting construction material or supporting police departments, the “DC-3 of helicopters” will still be flying on its fiftieth anniversary. The most detailed account of the H-34 to appear, Lennart Lundh’s Sikorsky H-34 reflects over a decade of research. It takes the reader through the H-34 from nose to tail, and across its service from Argentina to Vietnam. Few of the photographs have been published before, and many are drawn from private collections. A special feature is the chapter of impressions and anecdotes from fourteen H-34 crew members.[AuthorName]By (author) Lennart Lundh[\/AuthorName][AuthorBio][\/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]350+ color and b\/w photos[\/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][\/CoAuthor][SubTitle]An Illustrated History[\/SubTitle][ColorPattern]350+ color and b\/w photos[\/ColorPattern]","brand":"VYSN","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":42651446640734,"sku":"carro-64807693","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/6555\/6830\/files\/9780764305221.jpg?v=1776302600","url":"https:\/\/impossible-girls-2.myshopify.com\/products\/sikorsky-h-34-an-illustrated-history-by-schiffer-publishing","provider":"Impossible girl's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
