Yes, females did pilot helicopters in the Vietnam War. The Women's Army Corps (WAC) included a group of female helicopter pilots known as the Women's Army Corps Helicopter Pilots (WACHP). These women served as helicopter pilots in Vietnam, flying various missions including medical evacuations, transportation, and reconnaissance. Their contributions were significant and paved the way for future generations of female military aviators.
