Most famous helicopter in Vietnam war?
It used to be the CH-34 Choctaw (known as the sea horse in the Navy/Marines). By '65 it had been replaced by the UH-1 Iroquois (aka Huey). UH stands for Utility Helicopter; CH stands for Cargo Helicopter. The world's FIRST (designed and built) attack helicopter was the AH-1 Cobra, deployed and combat tested in South Vietnam in '66. Both the Cobra and the Iroquois were built by the same company and both birds used the same engine.
What are the different types of helicopters?
All US helicopters are advanced modernized versions (or descendents) of the Vietnam War era choppers: 1. CH-53 Sea Stallion (CH=Cargo helicopter) 2. AH-1 Cobra (AH=Attack Helicopter) 3. UH-1 Iroquois (the Huey/UH=Utility Helicopter) 4. HH Jolly Green Giants (HH=Heavy left Helicopter) 5. OH-58 Kiowa (Observation Helicopter/jet ranger) 6. OH-6 Cayuse (Observation Helicopter/this bird actually was designed to replace the US Army's O-1 Bird Dog artillery observation airplane; used for the last time in Vietnam).

Were the pilots who flew the helicopters in Vietnam war Air Force or Army?
The US Army had the largest helicopter force in the world during the Vietnam War. And flew a lengthly list of different types of choppers during the conflict: Sioux (whirlybird), CH-19, CH-21 Shawnee, CH-47 Chinook, CH-34, UH-1 Iroquois (Huey), AH-1 Cobra, OH-58 Kiowa, OH-6 Cayuse...to name a few. The US Navy flew CH-53 Sea Stallions, while the US Marines preferred the CH-46 Sea Knight (which looks like an army CH-47 Chinook). The US Air Force flew Jolly Green Giants and Flying Cranes, both of which were versions of the US Navy CH-53 Sea Stallion. The mission of USAF chopper airmen was to rescue downed US fliers (jet pilots) and recover shot down US aircraft (mainly spotter planes and other helicopters...there usually wasn't too much left of jets when they crashed). All branches at one time or another flew the US Army's UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) in Vietnam...especially the US Navy & Marine Corps. The USMC also flew the US Army's AH-1 Cobra in Vietnam. NOT to be confused with the current SUPER Cobra flown by 21st century US Marines...that craft has TWO engines. The Vietnam Cobra, which was the world's first "designed & built" fielded combat Attack Helicopter had only ONE engine. So, the short version of answering your question is: The men that flew helicopters in the Vietnam War were from all branches of the US military...but primarily from the US Army.
