Review Quotes:
"This is a story purpose-made for a reasonably cheap wargame, with one or more US 'Pink Teams' (an observation helicopter plus a killer Cobra gunship) versus whatever collection you fancy of T-34/85, PT-76, and T-54 tanks, with some anti-aircraft guns, missiles, or the odd ZSU anti-aircraft vehicle." --Miniature Wargames
"Everything is well illustrated throughout, with lots of archive photos, colour profiles artwork, maps, battle scenes and tactics diagrams." --Military Model Scene "It is a superb look at early helicopter versus tank combat that still has relevance in the tactics used today." --Aviation News "This volume is another excellent example of their dedication to preserving complex military stories with clarity and respect." --Maverick Scale Models
