The Choctaw. A Legend That Flew on Every Continent.
From the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of the Middle East, the Sikorsky CH-34 Choctaw was there — lifting troops, evacuating wounded, and pioneering the air assault tactics that define modern warfare. Between 1953 and 1970, 2,340 of these iconic piston-engined helicopters were built and flown by the armed forces of 25 nations. This 15oz Army CH-34 Choctaw Ceramic Mug is a tribute to that legacy — and to every crew member who flew her.
A Helicopter That Made History
Originally designed as an anti-submarine warfare aircraft for the U.S. Navy, the H-34 quickly proved its versatility across every branch and every theater. The French Air Force used it to pioneer modern air assault tactics in Algeria. The U.S. Marine Corps flew it as the “HUS” until turbine-powered successors like the UH-1 Huey and CH-46 Sea Knight took over. It served on every continent, in every climate, and in some of the most demanding combat environments in history.
