Helicopters saw limited use in World War II, but during the Korean War, they became vital for medical evacuations, logistics, and transport roles, leading to their widespread adoption in the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War, known as the 'Helicopter War', became a defining moment for helicopters, with notable usage in scouting, equipment hauling, search and rescue, and significant attack roles.
The iconic Bell UH-1 Iroquois, or Huey, debuted in 1959 and is recognized as the most famous helicopter of the Vietnam War for its versatility across various missions.
The Bell AH-1 Cobra, introduced in 1967, served as a dedicated attack helicopter providing close-air support during the Vietnam War, highlighting the evolving role of helicopters in combat.
