CH-47D Chinook – history and service

The CH-47 Chinook is a heavy, twin-rotor transport helicopter designed by Boeing Vertol (now Boeing Rotorcraft Systems) for the US military. The D (Delta) version entered service in the early 1980s. The USA, as well as many NATO countries (United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and others), deployed it during armed conflicts, humanitarian, and logistical operations. The CH-47D played a key role in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans, and numerous UN missions during the Cold War and in modern times.
