This S-55 helicopter in Indochina is probably H-19B 52-7900, which did see French service according to Scramble. 52-7899 was 599 / VA according to Baugher. These two are missing from the list in the spring 2016 issue of Air-Britain. Photo by: Georges Liron / ECPAD This photo was added on 2 December 2025, and has since been viewed 142 times.
