The HOVERFLY FILE
by Eric Myall
(Edited by Ray Sturtivant)
This book, the result of 20 years research, fills a long-outstanding gap in the annals of British military aviation, as well as throwing light on the early days of Anglo-American helicopter development. The Sikorsky R-4 Hoverfly was the first practical helicopter and the most important forerunner of all civil and military rotary wing aircraft now flying around the world. The text details the part played by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, with British Army input, in its introduction into service and its subsequent development into the R-6 Hoverfly II. Comprehensive individual histories of all British Hoverflies.
108 pages, 120 photos, some in colour.
Line drawings and 2 pages of full colour graphics.
