Interior of Sikorsky CH-34 Choctaw Helicopter, Tennessee Museum of Aviation

The weathered interior of a Sikorsky CH-34 Choctaw helicopter reveals its utilitarian layout, including a fold-down litter rack once used for medical evacuation. The CH-34 served U.S. and allied forces in transport and casualty evacuation roles through the early years of the Vietnam War before being succeeded by turbine-powered helicopters. Project: 218914
