V/Stol for the U.S. Marines

Abstract

Because it is a small, mobile service that must make the most of every asset, the Marine Corps in the 1940s and early 1950s began to use the utility helicopter as a weapon system. Very quickly it became obvious that the “chopper” offered Corps commanders unprecedented flexibility in moving ground forces much faster than by surface transportation.
