The United States Air Force recently demonstrated its newest and largest helicopter,, the "Piasecki Work Horse," at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The size of the new giant airplane is seen readily by comparing it with the standard military helicopter flying above it. The new helicopter can carry 20 fully-equipped soldiers in addition to its two pilots. Additional equipment can be strapped to the fuselage. (Courtesy of the U.S. Embassy in Wellington)
