USAF HH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' Combat Search-and-Rescue Helicopter in Flight, Vietnam War Era
A U.S. Air Force Sikorsky HH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' banks in flight, its three-tone Southeast Asia camouflage and fixed refueling probe clearly visible. Flown by the Air Rescue Service during the Vietnam War, the HH-3E and its successor the HH-53 conducted daring combat search-and-rescue missions deep into hostile territory to recover downed American aircrew, often braving intense enemy fire to complete the rescue.
