 The most notable helicopter used in the war was the UH-1 helicopter Often referred to as the Heuy. Helicopter related jobs were some of the most deadly of the war. Now, throw injured troops on these already dangerous machines and you have the image that most think of when thinking back on the Vietnam War.

For Lynne, this noise is a sound that is not welcomed. The roaring blades of the chopper dropping down at the 71st hospital is one of tension and urgency.
