Korean War 1950's, note it is not asking when did the first helicopter was used...it is asking the first widespread of helicopters
Vertical Envelopment, or the use of helicopters in combat, was first introduced in the Korean war.
Remains AND casualties, are always carried feet first... Casualties travel feet first on level ground down hill and stairs, except when there is a leg fracture. •Casualties travel feet first on ground and HEAD FIRST in transport, is to theoretically to allow rapid FEETFIRST unloading upon arrival at a care facility. If on a litter, feet first in the direction of travel so that if there were a forward momentum mishap, again they could land on their feet, except when they are suspected of having leg fractures, then they are moved head first....and loaded in the transport vehicle with the head in the direction of travel s to prevent the momentum from creating too much blood travel to the head while in transport. (we dont want peronnel standing on their head while in trasnport) REMAINS loaded feetfirst on the transport vehicle are identifiable as being 'remains' and are therefore not requiring continued observation and care while in transport. Best I can answer...with information form Aviation personnel.
The Korean war was the first time Vertical Envelopment was used, or the use of helicopters to assist troops in battle.
No, airplanes came first
On the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg there were about 9,000 Union casualties and 6,000 Confederate casualties.
Heinkel made the first for Nazi Germany, but now Boeing and Sikorsky are well-known companies for building helicopters
Those are the helicopters designed by Aerospatiale (which was later merged into Eurocopter). IIRC, the first model to use it was the Dauphin.
When they were first invented they were not for sell yet
