For those who don't subscribe to Air & Space Smithsonian magazine, here's the link to the online version containing my latest article, this one being about my late Fathers 1952 helicopter to helicopter midair. Enjoy!

Great article. I like the way you mixed the history of the helicopters and squadrons in with the incident.

Nice story, I love early helicopter history stories like that.

Good job Craig.
Having started out originally in my aviation career as a helicopter mechanic in the oil fields along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, I have a great appreciation of avoiding mid-air collisions between helicopters. I have seen some really bad stuff. We used to call our pilots "Swivel Necks", because your always looking for that other guy!
Best Always
