Interesting Vid: Evolution of Attack Helicopter Concepts of Employment

watch it here

An interesting video (presumeubly) dating from the late 60s early 70s on the history and doctrine of the Attack Helicopter in US Army service. Theres some interesting prototypes toward the end such as modified hueys and cobras as well as a pretty good segment on the AH-56 Cheyenne.

Very good find! Watching it now, VERY interesting.

AH-56 Cheyenne looked a little bit wierd, but, nonetheless, interesting.

Very interesting video.

It would be cool to try out doing 5-6 man heli squad on kashan were you use a scout heli to spot and mark targets with attack markers.

Edit: Wait the LB isn't on kashan 32 right?
