In the mid-sixties America found herself hopelessly entangled in an unwinnable war, deep in the jungles of South East Asia. Huey helicopters were doing the heavy lifting and laying down heavy fire, but realistically they couldn't do both. The US Army soon found themselves needing an ATTACK helicopter, an aircraft designed solely for combat. And luckily for them, Bell helicopter had already made one. Just for fun. This is the strange story of the AH-1 HueyCobra.
