Sikorsky UH-34D USMC HMM-163 Evil Eyes Diecast 1:72 Easy Model EM37010

The Sikorsky UH-34D Choctaw was the primary assault helicopter of the US Marine Corps. in the early and mid-1960s, and is credited with laying the foundation for airborne assault doctrine that would later be perfected by the Huey generation that replaced it. Helicopter Medium Squadron 163 (HMM-163), nicknamed "Evil Eyes" for the sharp, shark-mouth eyes often painted on the nose of their craft, was one of the first Marine helicopter squadrons deployed to Vietnam, flying troop insertion and medical evacuation missions beginning in 1962, in the earliest, most improvised years of American involvement, long before the war escalated to the massive deployment of ground troops. The squadron's UH-34Ds operated from both precarious forward bases and amphibious ships, often under enemy fire, and became a symbol of the Marines' early adaptation to the rotary-wing tactics that would mark their aviation doctrine for decades.
