AH-1 Cobra Gunship vs NVA Armor

Explore the role of the AH-1 Cobra gunship during the Vietnam War, a groundbreaking conflict where, for the first time, helicopters played a dominant role. With over 700 operational Cobras by 1972, this dedicated gunship effectively engaged in battles against North Vietnamese Army tanks, armored personnel carriers, and heavy anti-aircraft weaponry. As expert author Peter E. Davies outlines in this educational and informative study, the Cobra also formed "Pink Team" hunter-killer flights alongside OH-6A "Loach" scout helicopters, and was able to adapt to counter surface-to-air missile attacks in 1972. Through first-hand accounts, newly commissioned artwork, and over 50 photographs, this action-packed book explores key clashes such as the Tet Offensive and engagements at Loc Ninh and An Loc.
