Donald Yates, a U.S. 20-year military veteran, has released another fine military periodical short read. Yates, author of over 15 military history pictorials, has now released his latest book, The Life of the AH-1 Cobra. Yates, who earlier published The Life of the M1 Tank, takes the reader on a decade-by-decade tour of the Cobra's history. The AH-1 was heavily involved in combat missions from the Vietnam war to Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as Afghanistan and several other conflicts. You'll see the AH-1 being launched off aircraft carriers, concrete runways, and dirt roads. Yates includes 70 mostly color photos taken by service members themselves. These photos are arranged in sequential order from the oldest to the newest photos. Yates also discusses why the development of the AH-1 was critical to America's defense preparedness and to the war effort in Vietnam.
