Kathleen Long, e-mail, 03.11.2023 04:16 Thank you for your interest. I do have the photo. It is an 8 x 10 black and white. I has the helicopter in the background and a group of pilots and ground crew? It looks like it was taken in front of a factory. I dont' have identification of where or when it was taken or who the men were.
As far as my dad's stories. All of his records were lost in the fire of the WWII record archives. He served in the First Air Commandos in the CBI flying P-40s and P-51As. Most of the information I have on him and his unit came from a British researcher, Akhil Kadidal who does research on the Chindits and the US troops who supported the British in Burma. i could send you a copy of the picture. Just let me know how to get it to you. I have an entire box of my dad's pictures from his time overseas but this is the only one that features a helicopter. Like many, he didn't talk much about his time in the war.
Just let me know how I can help you.
Thanks,
Kate (Kathleen) Long

I'd be very interested in seeing a copy of this photo as well as maybe getting an electronic version for my research. Additionally I'd love to hear more about your father's story. Thanks.
Mike

Kathleen Long, e-mail, 20.01.2023 00:12 I have a picture of my father, Jack U. Klarr with a group of pilots in front of a Skorsky R-4. It was taken at the factory in NJ I think. He was a fighter pilot and part of the First Air Commandos based in Burma and China. He was sent to the factory to train to fly these helicopters in Burma to evacuate the wounded. His unit served under British command which were using mules to evacuate wounded troops at that time. Some of these helicopters were shipped to India but were damaged so that he never had to fly one in combat. He did refer to them as "death traps".

Robert Grossman, e-mail, 02.05.2022 19:20 Every household will someday have a helipad and chopper. Sure as God made little green apples. Is the helicopter described in the book of revelation in the Bible ? What happened to the autogyro ?
The helicopter is surely a wonderful addition to the engineering designs of any society. Respond if you have time

daniel j denton, e-mail, 10.08.2020 21:29 I like it too. I especially like how it had cables rather than a drive shaft connecting to the tail rotor. I have noticed that Kobe Bryant made a comment on here as well. How strange is that?

Howard Frink, e-mail, 20.02.2016 20:23 We had 2 Sikorsky R-4's flying from a small flight deck on our ship -- 2nd Aircraft Repair Unit (Floating), which supported B-29 bombers flying from Saipan and Iwo Jima. All of the high tech shops to support the B-29's were installed on the Liberty ship -- parts and men were ferried to the air strips at Saipan and later at Iwo Jima.

Zac Yates, e-mail, 03.11.2010 08:23 Long shot, does anyone know where I can obtain a DVD of a 1980s doco called "The Chopper"? I have no idea who produced it, exact year, or who the English-sounding narrator is. It includes interviews with Hanna Reitsch and Bart Kelly (coworker of Arthur Young at Bell), and other techs and pilots, as well as footage of the prototype NOTAR, Apache, Sikorsky ABC and the XV-15, as well as the R-4.
