Detail view of the main rotor head and pylon of a Sikorsky CH-34 Choctaw helicopter. Powered by a piston radial engine, the CH-34 served as an early workhorse transport and medevac helicopter for U.S. forces in Vietnam before turbine-powered helicopters took over the majority of rotary-wing missions.
