“Vietnam, the Long War: From Horseback to Helicopter” — the latest in this lecture series starts at at 3 p.m., Monday, Feb. 1:
Armored warfare and motorized transport transformed mobility in the 20th century. After the Second World War, cavalry took a different form with the helicopter. With rotary wing aircraft, troops and supplies could now be moved over obstacles which impeded rival forms of ground transportation. Shifting from horseback to air mobility will be the focus on this week’s talk. About the presenter
