 This is John Brennan, active member of the VHCMA
and the 114th Avn Co Assn. I'm collecting
"nicknames" (i.e. FLYING COFFIN,IRON BUTTERFLY) that
in-country Army copter crews painted on their aircraft
during their Vietnam tours, 1961-73. Future book by
aviation publisher is in the making.
Have cataloged over 1,900 names to date. I expect
that number to exceed 2,500 when complete. Would very
much like to include as many personalized Blue Ghost
copter names as possible. Photos of "names" are fine
but not necessary to be included in the database
section of the book. "Names" alone will do.
The second part of this book project is the photo
collection of helicopter "nose art" that includes
"names", artwork, graffiti, everything & anything that
was painted officially and unofficially on in-country
Army copters, 1961-73.
Send "nickname" info and/or scanned "nose art" pics
to johnmailman@yahoo.com
Regards, John Brennan, former SP5, 114 AHC,
Flight Operations Coordinator, Vinh Long AAF, Mekong
Delta, 1970-71
