BOEING VERTOL CH-47 CHINOOK

Title: Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook No’s 1 to 3

Bearing a marked resemblance to the earlier CH-46 helicopter, the CH-47 is in fact a much larger and heavier machine, conceived as a US Army battlefield mobility vehicle. First flown in 1961, the CH-47 can accommodate 44 troops, 27 paratroopers, or three tons of freight. The fuselage is sealed during manufacture to enable water landings in an emergency.

The type has been in continuous production since 1962 with over 1200 having been built, and has been exported to many other nations worldwide. A civil version has also been used extensively for oil field support, firefighting and logging, etc.

We offer three titles for the CH-47 series, covering most military variants of the aircraft in US Army service. Each title is US$9.95. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages where applicable.
