摘要

Few machines exemplify 20th-century technology like the helicopter. The complexity of a combat helicopter is phenomenal. Each air-frame consists of thousands of parts that are machine-milled to precise specifications and operate in unison with little margin for error. To build a machine capable of sustained flight with rotating wings is remarkable in itself; to then use the machine in highly choreographed military operations ranks among the great accomplishments in modern warfare. In the 20th century, the U.S. military embraced technology as a means of exploiting an advantage over enemy forces. In the Vietnam war, for example, the challenges of fighting a technologically inferior, unconventional enemy over a period of years provided a proving ground for technology-based weapons. Propelled by the urgency of war, the helicopter emerged as a major component of U.S. warfighting doctrine. Introducing the helicopter as a means of leveraging technology shook the force structure of the U.S. Army to its foundation. Within the context of this transformation, the evolution of the armed helicopter is a revealing story.
