This is John Brennan, active member of the VHCMA and the 114th Avn Co Assn. I'm collecting "names" (e.g. FLYING COFFIN, IRON BUTTERFLY) that in-country Army copter crews painted on their aircraft during their Vietnam tours, 1961-73. Future book by aviation publisher is in the making.
Have cataloged 2,732 names to date. I expect that number to exceed 3,000 when complete. Would very much like to include as many PERSONALIZED copter names as possible. Photos of "names" are fine but not necessary to be included in the database section of the book. "Names" alone will do.
The second part of this book project is the photo collection of helicopter "nose art" that includes "names", artwork, graffiti, everything & anything that was painted officially and unofficially on in-country
Army copters, 1961-73.
Send "name" info and/or scanned "nose art" pics to [email protected]
Regards, John Brennan, former SP5, Flight Operations Coordinator, 114 AHC, Vinh Long AAF, Mekong Delta, 1970-71
PS: In-Country YEARBOOKS are often a great source for copter "names". Take a peek and give me a shout if something interesting is found.

I was a 91D20 - Operating Room (OR) Tech. (a.k.a. Surgical Tech) in the US Army. I served for 22 months (from 1 JUL 69 to 29 APR 71) at the 24th Evacuation Hospital on Long Binh Post, Republic of Vietnam. I worked in Central Medical Supply (CMS) for the first 8 months or so, then in the OR for the remainder of my time "over there." I'm trying to get in touch with Alfie Harris. Alfie was a co-worker and roommate during part of my "career" at the 24th Evac. I have about 120 of his 35mm slides that I would like to return to him -- as I promised 40 years ago. ;- 0
