Corrected entry: When the first batch of helicopters is lifting for Ia Drang you can see that one of them is a short version (UH-1A or B). But only UH-1 D were used at Ia Drang. (00:42:10)

Correction: The HU-1A (which was the original designation of the Bell Iroquois "jury's) and UH-1B had been in service in Vietnam since 1961. Therefore it is possible that even though it was not assigned to the former 11th Air Assault Company, it was still used in various roles with other units.
