Summary, etc. This well illustrated survey encompasses a wide spectrum of special operations aviation activities from both the military and para-public sectors. Many nations are now expanding and developing the roles for their airborne, airmobile and amphibious or commando forces. Military operations have become more diverse, to include humanitarian missions, Combat Search and Rescue and combined operations. Para-public organizations have also turned to aviation for law enforcement, Emergency Medical Support, fire fighting and mountain rescue. This book looks at a number of aviation units past and present who have provided specialist aviation support. Examples include the RAF Special Duties Missions in Occupied Europe; the Spanish Army Aviation support; and Germany's Maritime Border Guards. Also includes a chapter on Exercise Setia Kawan - the joint RBAF and Royal Marines exercise which took place in 1997. Specialist aircraft including the Bell/Boeing V-22 Osprey and Boeing Chinook HC2 are detailed.
