Great story. US Army Helo War in Vietnam = America’s longest and most controversial war --- over 58, 300K KIA, more than 30K KIA in 68 & 69, 42 members of my flight class KIA and 50% wounded, injured, or ill. The war produced 10,000 amputees. 40,000 helicopter pilots served in Vietnam and most were Army. Flying helos was a very dangerous business with 4,905 helo crew members KIA. 90% of 390k wounded were saved (golden hour) because of the helicopter and the brave crews. God bless, Larry
