The Aerospatiale/Westland Gazelle stands as one of the most enduring and celebrated reconnaissance and light attack helicopters in history. Its remarkable capabilities quickly garnered attention, thanks to its impressive speed, sleek aesthetics, and innovative design elements such as the Fenestron ducted tail rotor and composite main rotor blades. In this comprehensive and engaging book, aviation expert David Oliver delves into the complete development story of the Gazelle, encompassing its diverse roles in the air forces, military, and naval sectors, as well as its deployments across the globe.
Once Westland became involved in the French helicopter project, the Gazelle swiftly gained recognition as a trainer for the RAF, a battlefield reconnaissance and attack helicopter for the Army Air Corps and Royal Marines, and a training helicopter for the Royal Navy. It fulfilled similar missions in the armed forces of France and other nations. As this book vividly illustrates, armed variants of the Gazelle have actively participated in conflicts in regions such as the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Lebanon, the Gulf War, former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Mali, and Syria. Furthermore, the Gazelle has undergone adaptations for civilian purposes.
As a testament to its unparalleled success, Gazelle helicopters will remain in service with the British and French armed forces beyond 2020. Accompanied by a plethora of lavish color photographs, this book serves as an indispensable guide to one of the world's most accomplished military and civilian helicopters.
