The Army formally celebrated 50 years of the Australian Army Aviation Corps on Thursday. To mark the occasion we have reproduced this feature article which originally appeared in the September 2018 edition of Australian Aviation. 

When the Australian Army Aviation Corps was officially formed in 1968, Australia was at war and Army pilots were flying Sioux helicopters and Cessna light aircraft in South Vietnam.
