Why was the helicopter and important invention?
Helicopters were an important military invention because they enabled direct air transport without needing a runway. They were thus able to act as transports for the wounded in the Korean war and later in Vietnam from the front line directly to military emergency hospitals. This undoubtedly saved the lives of thousands of injured soldiers. ( The TV series 'MASH' is a great depiction of this ) . In Vietnam helicopters were more advanced and by then used to land troops in front line locations and in jungle and hilly areas where fixed wing aircraft could not operate. By the end of Vietnam helicopters were also acting in an assault role, able to operate in areas where jet fighters were relatively useless. In civilian use helicopters became rescue machines for shipping and very useful in many aspects of construction such as helping with erecting power pylons, logging and fire-fighting.

The Marines were the first to transport the wounded to field hospitals and Navy hospital ships, and the Air Force transported over 2 million patients by the end of the war.
