    I beleive that at the time the Germans had a far more advanced helicopter design , in so much as they could fly faster and were able to carry more . but the Allies destroyed they few they had and the production facilities. some archivel footage of the different German designs flying , The posters title has to do with the Korean war claim of first combat use. still a must see video. Something went wrong...

    Welcome extrogg , Many things of interest related to all those Military vehicles you have listed , the owners of them are always looking for a knowledgeable helping hand . We also like to hear others experience and best of all see what photo's they might have of these wonderful Vehicles , So have a look around the place and when you have finished with the chores that all new members are required to do , as instructed by one of the old Hats you will be expected in the club house bar to buy a round of drinks once your replaced by the next person to join the Friendliest forum on the Net .
