DAWN OF THE HELICOPTER

Italian Air Force and Civilian Operators:
1945-1960

Other than the aeroplane, the helicopter is today’s most widely used flying machine, yet without doubt it still evokes curiosity and interest in the collective imagination. Traced in this book are those historical days of an age long gone, in testimony of the events that followed the world war from which this flying machine emerged to appear for the first time in Italy.
