A nice photo of another French S-55 in Indochina, this time landing at the Lanessan Hospital in Hanoi with released prisoners of war. The helicopter is listed as lost only nine days later, on 24 July 1954 at Dien Bien Phu, although the fighting there was over. The hospital is now Vietnam's Central Military Hospital 108.

Photo taken during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu at Strongpoint Isabelle, 'a dismal patch of marshes and swamp' 6 km to the south of the town, where there was an auxiliary airstrip. Killed soldiers are visible in the uncropped picture. Supplies appear to be parachuted in in the background. The helicopter is ex USAF 52-7595, which was shipped to Vietnam in January 1954. It is listed as lost at Dien Bien Phu on 23 March, one week after this photo was taken by either Jean Péraud or Daniel Camus. Photo from: ECPAD

En route to Hanoi after the fall of Dien Bien Phu. The French used some twenty-five S-55 helicopters in Indochina from September 1953 - both H-19B and HRS models. This should be BuNo 130232, ex US Marines - code VK is from call sign F-SDVK. Returned to the Americans in 1958, curiously receiving a newly created fiscal year 1952 USAF serial, 52-10991.
