EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Sud-Aviation SA.318BW Alouette II military helicopter, registration number 77+61, of the German Army (Bundeswehr) Heer, at Rheine-Bentlage Air Base on May 29, 1970. The Alouette II, a versatile and agile rotorcraft, was manufactured by Sud-Aviation, a French aerospace company, and served in the German military from 1961 to 1992. In this image, the helicopter is seen in its natural habitat, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the air base. The Alouette II's distinctive orange and grey camouflage paint scheme is evident, blending it seamlessly with its environment. The helicopter's rotor blades are in motion, creating a sense of energy and dynamism. The Alouette II was a workhorse for the German military, used for various missions including reconnaissance, transportation, and training. Its versatility and reliability made it a popular choice for the Bundeswehr, and it saw action in several conflicts, including the Mali War and the Yom Kippur War. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Alouette II was a cutting-edge piece of military technology. It is a reminder of the important role that aviation plays in military operations and the advancements that have been made in aeronautical engineering over the decades.
