With the upcoming release of dragons uh-1d I’m trying to track down what the markings are for a particular squadron but have not had any luck. The squadron is the Kingsmen from I corps in Vietnam who for the most part were the life line of LRP/LRRP’s in the field. so does anybody know what markings their hueys had or if they also used the c varient?

Try www.rotorwash.net. has info and photos of 17th AHC (laterB-101AHB). good luck!

Just a note Curtis, the only “squadron” in the US Army are Cav Squadrons, all others are company, battalion, batteries(ARA only)

theres a bit about the kingsmen on that site…

you could read Wings of the Eagle, a kingsmen story by W.T grant…for motivation…Grant had transfered from the black cats to the kingsmen after they had become Bravo/ 101st

their motto was opera non verba?? actions not words or deeds not words…they had a double diamond on the tail boom…and top of the tail plane thingy…either side

C R ,

Try the rotorwash.net site again. It was down for a bit, but is back in action. It has tons of photos and history of the 17AHC Kingsmen/Lancers.

thanks guys. Granddadjohn sorry for misidentifying, i’m not to schooled in the course of U.S.Army aviation. up here only the airforce has winged things and hysterical palm trees.
