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.

You bet your sweet bippy they did! The Vietnam War saw the first female helicopter pilots in the US Military, with around a dozen badass women flying helicopters for the Army and Air Force. These trailblazing ladies paved the way for future generations of women to kick butt in the skies.

Oh, isn't that a wonderful thought? Yes, indeed, during the Vietnam War, there were brave and talented women who piloted helicopters. They were known as the "Honeybees" or the "Angels" and they played a crucial role in medical evacuations and other missions, spreading their kindness and skill through the skies.

No, political correctness came after the war when the all volunteer military was created. From WWII to the Vietnam War females were not part of the fighting units; they had their own branch, the Women's Army Corps (WACs). The US Navy had the WAVES. These were support units, to relieve the men from support functions, which in turn would allow the men to fight the wars.

In the Army, women do as much as men. Acutually that is not true women can't join any elite combat groups in the military such as navy seals..
