U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook Helicopter (Tail No. 19110) in Protective Revetment, South Vietnam, Vietnam War Era
A U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter, tail number 19110, sits protected within a steel-and-timber revetment at a South Vietnam airfield. Such earthen and steel-plank barriers shielded aircraft from enemy mortar and rocket fire during the Vietnam War, while pierced steel planking provided a durable, quickly-laid runway surface in the field.
