Articles about helicopters and corsairs in WWII

[cutiger83]

I started a thread in the military discussions forum which contains articles from the WWII WASP newspaper called The Avenger. I thought some of you might find these articles interesting.

 

Please look at post #20 regarding a helicopter rushing to a stricken destroyer.

 

Please look at post #22 regarding Navy corsair tactics

 

Please look at post #27 regarding a parachute for women. I have never heard about this so I don't think it went beyond the design phase.

Very interesting links Kat..thanks. Would that be the Sandy Hook..."famous" for all the wrong reasons? Interesting to read about "The Jolly Rogers" too!

I thought the articles Kat posted were very interesting, in particular the one about helicopter was amazing.
