An Army HU-1A Bell Iroquois helicopter crashed while on a demonstration flight at Parks Air College, East St. Louis, Illinois, 21 October 1959. The tail boom and the engine tore free at successive impacts, and the roof was crushed into the cockpit and cabin when the helicopter came to rest inverted. The pilot sustained serious injury; the crew chief, minor injury. No other persons were aboard. A crash injury investigation conducted by Aviation Crash Injury Research found that (1) the seat and cushion contributed to the amplification of the crash force imposed upon the pilot; (2) the structure supporting the roof was not strong enough to prevent the roof from crushing into the cockpit and cabin under survivable crash force conditions. The investigation found also that (1) the skids and cross tubes seem to have absorbed a considerable amount of crash force; (2) the doors broke off and allowed large exits for escape; and (3) the fuel cells are located in an area not highly subject to impact damage. As a result of the above findings the attention of responsible military authorities is called to the following recommendations: (1) Immediate steps be taken toward increasing the integrity of the roof structure of this type helicopter. (2) Any seats used should offer their occupants a high degree of energy absorption. (Author).

The versatile UH-1 Huey helicopter remains in service with the U.S. military and allied nations today. Bell's development of the UH-1 Iroquois began in 1952. The aircraft became iconic during its involvement in the Vietnam War. It was originally designated the HU-1, which lead to the now-familiar Huey name. Originally conceived as a medical evacuation and utility helicopter for the Army, the helicopter was adopted for use by all branches of the U.S. military. Its roles evolved to include use as an aerial gunship as well firefighting duties. Chronicles the use of 15 different versions of the Huey from its prototype through the current use of the UH-1Y Venom, a versatile helicopter in the global war on terror. The book is illustrated with more than 220 photos, 160 of which are vintage color, and supplemented by numerous line illustrations.

The US Army requirement for a light utility helicopter was formulated after the Korean War. Bell's Model 204 design won a competition in 1955, and was given the military designation H-40, later renamed the HU-1 Iroquois. The original design called for a helicopter that could be used for transport, airborne battlefield command and control, medical evacuation, fire support co-ordination and search and rescue. Later its missions would be expanded to include troop insertion/extraction, armed escort and special operations. This title details all the technological background behind the development and use of the Huey “Slick” in Vietnam, as well as covering all the major uses that this transport aircraft was put to.

Few implements of war are as representative of the US presence in Vietnam as the Bell Huey UH-1-series helicopters. Whether serving in the role of troop transport for airborne assault, supply transports, aerial gunships, or medical evacuation, the Huey was seemingly everywhere. The versatile aircraft, officially the "Iroquois," was affectionately known to all as the "Huey," a name derived from its early model designation of HU-1A. The Huey, later redesignated UH-1, was a mainstay during America's presence in Vietnam, and 11 Huey crewmen earned the Medal of Honor. Through carefully researched archival documents and photographs, the history of this iconic helicopter, and the men who flew it, is told in this illustrated volume.

Although his career continued for almost three decades after the 1939 publication of The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck is still most closely associated with his Depression-era works of social struggle. But from Pearl Harbor on, he often wrote passionate accounts of America’s wars based on his own firsthand experience. Vietnam was no exception. Thomas E. Barden’s Steinbeck in Vietnam offers for the first time a complete collection of the dispatches Steinbeck wrote as a war correspondent for Newsday. Rejected by the military because of his reputation as a subversive, and reticent to document the war officially for the Johnson administration, Steinbeck saw in Newsday a unique opportunity to put his skills to use. Between December 1966 and May 1967, the sixty-four-year-old Steinbeck toured the major combat areas of South Vietnam and traveled to the north of Thailand and into Laos, documenting his experiences in a series of columns titled Letters to Alicia, in reference to Newsday publisher Harry F. Guggenheim’s deceased wife. His columns were controversial, coming at a time when opposition to the conflict was growing and even ardent supporters were beginning to question its course. As he dared to go into the field, rode in helicopter gunships, and even fired artillery pieces, many detractors called him a warmonger and worse. Readers today might be surprised that the celebrated author would risk his literary reputation to document such a divisive war, particularly at the end of his career. Drawing on four primary-source archives—the Steinbeck collection at Princeton, the Papers of Harry F. Guggenheim at the Library of Congress, the Pierpont Morgan Library’s Steinbeck holdings, and the archives of Newsday—Barden’s collection brings together the last published writings of this American author of enduring national and international stature. In addition to offering a definitive edition of these essays, Barden includes extensive notes as well as an introduction that provides background on the essays themselves, the military situation, the social context of the 1960s, and Steinbeck’s personal and political attitudes at the time.
