Model Story:

The UH-34s in Vietnam were primarily flown by Navy and Marine pilots who, while operating in theaters, found that some of the design's innovative features posed catastrophic danger to them. For example, the tall fuselage is a very conspicuous target at the landing site; the drive shaft separates the pilot's cockpit from the cargo compartment. Once the pilot or crew is injured, the two sides cannot rescue each other; the magnesium skin of the H-34 once The fire will burn violently, and it is difficult for the people inside to survive, and in the humid climate of Southeast Asia, the outer surface of the aircraft corrodes badly; its fuselage is not strong enough to be equipped with a large number of weapons to become an air gunboat. However, the H-34's anti-strike ability is still good, and it can often return to the field with injuries.
