AH-1 Cobra

AH-1 Cobra

Available on Paramount+, Prime Video, Smithsonian Channel
S11 E10: The AH-1 Cobra is a heavily armed first of its kind: a chopper built to bring the attack to the enemy. Rushed from the drawing board to the battlefields of Vietnam by manufacturer Bell Helicopter, this newest member of the prolific Huey family delivered much-needed close air support to U.S. ground troops and provided backup on daring rescue missions. Over the decades, design overhauls and new technology transformed the Cobra into an even more deadly serpent, ready to take on new enemy environments in Grenada, Panama, and Iraq.
