This was an experimental weapons system that was deployed to Vietnam and is officially the US Army's first purpose built night fighting helicopter. INFANT - Iroquois Night Fighter Night Tracker.

Here is the Maintenance Manual for the system in all it's used glory. 1 surviving INFANT gunship exists and is being restored by the US Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, AL.



Here is one of them incountry with 11th Combat Aviation Brigade at Phu Loi, RVN during the test period. Afterwards the INFANT gunships stayed incountry and rotated through different units such as the 191st AHC Bounty Hunters and Delta 227th AHB.

A couple of recent pick ups, not PAMs but of the era I guess you could say. First is a tiny 1956 brochure giving an introduction to National Service conscripts. Includes a list of the basic items each soldier would be issued with and a 1957 Amendments sheet. The other is a 1966 dated unused note book almost identical to those still issued today.
