Lavishly illustrated with original images, the story unfolds in detail and tells how the Mi-4 went on to serve globally, ranging from China to Cuba, through Africa, India, and the Middle East, and was to remain ubiquitous both in military and civilian use throughout the Eastern Bloc, and with Soviet client states across the World.
