U S To Supply South Vietnam With Three Hundred Helicopters
The United States will provide South Vietnam with about 300 Huey helicopters to build a self-sustaining Saigon air arm. About 17 helicopter squadrons will be equipped and training for pilots and maintenance crews will expand. The plan, backed by the Johnson and likely Nixon administrations, is financed by a 1969 70 supplemental and defense budget totaling roughly 98 million dollars.
