Its 430 choppers, flying from a carefully cropped launch pad outside An Khe, have carried men and whole batteries of snub-nosed 105s and 155s into places no one would have imagined. The Air Cav's noisy "gunships" have developed to a fine art the use of their rocket artillery in close support of the heliborne troops. As a result...
