CH-34A Helicoper
![A photograph by freelance photographer Dickey Chapelle of several Sikorsky CH-34A helicopters taken somewhere in South Vietnam. Because these heavy lifting helicopters were not introduced in Vietnam until 1963, this photograph dates somewhere between 1963 and Chapelle's death in Vietnam in 1965.
