One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed.

  • Capt Ben Casio, Standing, with Fellow Ugly Angels in the Foreground
    Christmas 1967 in Khe Sanh, celebrated Ugly Angels style! Capt Ben Casio, standing, with fellow Ugly Angels in the foreground VIETNAM RECOVERIES: The One-Eyed Ugly Angel – A True Marine Corps Legend An upside to searching for the remains of my first husband, Capt Jerry Zimmer, USMC, an F4 Phantom pilot shot down in the Que Son Mountains of Vietnam and MIA since August 29, 1969, is my renewed respect for Marines whose countless acts of bravery during the Vietnam War saved the lives of many fellow Marines. One of those heroic acts was recorded on April 30, 1968--the first day of the hard-fought, four-day Battle of Dai Do. Stationed aboard the Iwo Jima—a Landing Platform Helicopter (LPH) ship, floating about five miles off shore, from the mouth of the Cua Viet River in South Vietnam, Capt Ben Casio and his crew of Ugly Angels (HMH-362) were on medevac stand-by when the call came from a unit with the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines (2/4), requesting a medevac for five seriously wounded Marines. Within minutes, Ben and his wingman, 1st Lt Robbie Robertson, were at the controls of their H-34 helicopters, en route to Dai Do, a stone’s throw from Dong Ha and approximately eight miles south of the DMZ. Flying in the dead of night with 850 missions to his credit, Ben was unaware that the mission they were about to undertake would become a true Marine Corps legend. As I prepare to write this blog, Ben has one request: “Please don’t call me a hero — this mission was a team effort.” But even with the passage of time, many of his Marine Corps brethren still credit Ben with an enormous heroic feat that earned him the name, “The One-Eyed Ugly Angel” -- a moniker that Ben wears with pride.

While we were waiting in line to get registered, we overheard that there were 88 Devil Dogs that would be upgraded to the level of Pedigree Devil Dog at the Supreme Growl – and I was one of them. On Sunday we got our bearings and planned our days. If you’ve ever attended a National Convention you know how much goes on during a short week’s time frame. This convention had a daily packed schedule starting at 0630 with breakfast, meetings, more meetings, presentations of rules and dedications, election of officers, reports from National staff members, Toys for Tots, VAVS reports, Young Marines liaisons, Dept Commandant’s Council meetings, reports from Standing Committees, Administrative review committees, Scouting and Awards committees, etc. and ending at 1700 with brew and dining. Because most of the main room meetings were National oriented, we focused on the topics that addressed our Detachment. On Monday we were up at 0630 for breakfast and 0730 for 0800 for Colors. After Colors we broke off into our designated platoons and it was a study day. We reviewed Taps and Flag edict the first half of the day and then lunch.

It describes key events which occurred during various stages of the Society’s growth, including the formation of its technical committees, the evolution of the AHS Annual Forum and technical specialists’ meetings, and the creation and evolution of the Society’s publications. Featured prominently are accounts of AHS’s role in pursuing a combined government, industry and academia approach to rotorcraft science and technology. Also featured is the creation in 1965 of the Army-NASA Agreement for Joint Participation in Aeronautics Technology, the establishment of the U.S. Army Rotorcraft Centers of Excellence, the National Rotorcraft Technology Center (NRTC), the inauguration of the Congressional Rotorcraft Caucus and its support for the U.S. defense industrial base for rotorcraft, the battle for the survival of NASA aeronautics and critical NASA subsonic ground test facilities, and the launching of the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST).
