Ride of the Valkyries by
Simon Atack No aircraft came to symbolize
the war in Vietnam more than the Bell UH-1 Iroquois, better known to the
men who flew, and fought from this aircraft - and to those who were to owe
it their survival, by just one never to be forgotten name - the
Huey. Ideally suited to the terrain of South Vietnam - formidable
mountain peaks, dense jungle, almost every other acre of land under water,
and the fact that large tracts of the countryside were controlled by the
Vietcong and impassable, the Huey became one of the US Armys most
effective weapons of the war. With the ability to carry eight fully
equipped troops, the Huey was also ideal for use as Medevac flying
ambulances, which were to create their own legend. By the end of the
conflict the Hueys had notched up a staggering 34 million combat sorties
flown! In July 1965 the 1st Air Cavalry, equipped with 500 Hueys
arrived in South Vietnam to begin what became the longest tour of duty in
American combat history. Under the command of the flamboyant Colonel
John Stockton, the 1st Air Cavalry went on the immediate offensive,
swiftly creating a devastating impact on the enemy, bringing them to
battle wherever they could be found.
Right Here, Right Now by Philip West The Apache is the world's premier Attack helicopter. Its early history
was crowned during 'Operation Desert Storm' setting a combat record second
to none, dispelling any doubts about the Apache's supremacy. The 'Longbow'
offers even greater mission capability and provides a significant
contribution to any battlefield arena, anywhere in the world.
