Re: Helicopter landing in Austria
Leendert,
you have great knowledge about US Army branches in Italy.
Probably the heli in Sarnthein was a forced landing, the coincidence with an Italian heli, shooting on a man in the forest was occasionally.
As you correctly mentioned, USA Honest John Battaglions were stationed near Verona and near Brixen, close to Sarnthein.
So helis surely had to fly for military purposes between Verona and Brixen.
Interesting that German Luftwaffe has tested the first helis in 1944 near Innsbruck. Could send you a foto on PM. Cannot upload it to this text since recently.
