240th Assault Helicopter Company — Vietnam | Hot LZ
In the rice paddies and jungle clearings of Vietnam, the crews of the 240th Assault Helicopter Company flew into the fire so others could walk out of it. This museum-grade matte poster captures that moment — rotor wash cutting through the heat, boots hitting the earth, a unit holding the line under impossible odds. It's not just wall art. It's a record of courage that deserves a permanent place in your home.
