EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Piasecki Vertol CH-21C 83 17 helicopter, one of 32 built under license by Weser Flugzeugbau for the West German Army, at its base in Niedermendig around 1970. The CH-21C, also known as the WG-17 in German service, was a military variant of the Vertol Model 107 series, which was originally designed and produced by the Piasecki Helicopter Corporation in the United States. The helicopter in this image, with the serial number WG17, is now a proud addition to the Technik Museum Sinsheim's extensive collection. It is displayed on stilts, showcasing its distinctive features, including its twin engines, large main rotor, and spacious cabin. The CH-21C was primarily used for transporting troops and cargo, and its versatile design made it an essential asset for the Bundeswehr Heer (German Army) during the Cold War era. The Piasecki Vertol CH-21C 83 17 is a significant piece of aviation history, representing the collaboration between the United States and West Germany in the development and production of military helicopters. Today, it serves as a reminder of the important role helicopters played in military operations during the 20th century and continues to inspire awe and admiration among aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
