AB212 in service with the Italian Navy, Army and Air force

In this new book of the Italian Aviation Series we tell you about the birth and development of the UH-1N, a twin-engine helicopter, starting from the UH-1D single-engine version. The UH-1N was built in Italy by Agusta, assuming the abbreviation AB 212, which developed the ASW version, used by the Naval Aviation; always the Navy has used an electronic warfare version called "Owl". The Air Force used the AB 212 in the various Link Squadrons, upgrading it to the ICO standard and using it in combat in Afghanistan. The Army is the Armed Force that has received the lowest number of units, but which uses the AB 212 with satisfaction also in foreign missions, such as the ITALIR contingent present in Lebanon for over 40 years.

The AB 212 helicopter is still in service with the Naval Aviation, the Air Force and the Army Aviation.

All this and much more in a compelling book that fills an important gap, a book full of images, most of them unpublished, which cannot be missing in the library of any aviation enthusiast.
