Booklist - 04/01/2024 Known as a “flying tank,” this U.S. Army attack helicopter is built for action, and military and aircraft enthusiasts are the obvious targets of this accounting of its capabilities. Part of the Military Aircraft series (6 titles), this high-interest offering opens with a short fictional scenario of an Apache helicopter completing a stealth mission. It then launches into an overview of the aircraft's form, function, and history, capitalizing on succinct text, flashy photos, and infographics. Some noteworthy examples of the latter include a time line of military missions in which Apache helicopters were used and a diagram of one executing a sneak attack on an enemy tank. Labeled photos also point out the helicopter's exciting weapons, such as Hellfire missiles and the hydra rocket launcher. A final, two-page visual spread recaps key facts and stats. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
