Zhika Kuzmanovski’s 900-Picture Guidebook On Historically Famous Helicopters Heads Off to 2024 Frankfurt Book Fair

As the largest event of its kind in Europe, the Frankfurt Book Fair (also known as Frankfurter Buchmesse) attracts thousands of visitors who want to discover fun reads while they are on tour.

For fans of military aviation and history, Zhika of Macedon Kuzmanovski has quite an extensive yet compact guide for a particular type of aircraft.

The title of his book is “The World of Helicopters”, and he makes a point to have it really live up to its title. Featuring over 100 of the most famous helicopters in history (from Da Vinci’s famous aerial screw to the Sikorsky S-51, the first commercially-operated helicopter), the book is a great starting guide to anyone curious about all the world’s pioneering rotorcraft.

It covers “the history from the idea of a helicopter, to the practical realization of that idea, and the development of helicopters up to the present day.” Additionally, the book provides data on 164 operational helicopters, both past and currently in production, offering a comprehensive look into the evolution of these remarkable machines.

Kuzmanovski’s work isn’t just from research either. He graduated from the Military Aviation Academy in Zadar and took up his postgraduate studies at the Military Academy of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia. His aviation career started with simple gliders like the Libis-17 before officially training as a pilot for an SA-341 Gazelle helicopter at the Jasenice airport in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

His military career had him serving in both an anti-submarine and anti-tank squadron while going all the way up to deputy commander. He had even served as lecturer of the Aviation Navigation course at the Macedonian Academy.
