Hubschrauber, Transporter und Schulflugzeuge der NVA

The National People's Army (NVA) provided the armed forces of the GDR from 1956 to 1990. In both the West and the East, it was assumed that a conflict would initially develop on the territory of the two German states, and the GDR armed forces were accordingly well equipped by the Soviet Union.
The air force was no exception and the GDR had everything from the An-2 to the Mi-24 combat helicopter in its arsenal.

Kampfflugzeuge der NVA

Until the late 1980s, both in the West and the East assumed that a possible conflict would initially develop on the territory of the two German states.
The air force of the NVA was accordingly well equipped with material from the Soviet Union. From the very beginning, the air force's inventory included aircraft such as the MiG-15 and later the MiG-21, right up to the ultra-modern MiG-29.

Transporter und Hubschrauber der NVA - 1956-1990 (Typenkompass)

After the book "Kampfflugzeugen der NVA", this volume is devoted to the transporters and helicopters of the National People's Army, thus completing the aircraft used by the GDR's armed forces from 1956 to 1990.
Just as in the West, during the Cold War the opposing side assumed that a possible conflict would initially develop on the territory of the two German states. The NVA was accordingly well equipped with material, and the air force was no exception.
