The Big Picture. Above the Best
Description
This episode of the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series spotlights the growth and military importance of aviation in the Army. Featuring footage provided by the National Archives and Records Administration and filmed on location at Fort Rucker, Alabama, home of the Army Aviation School, this video shows how the ground commander must always be aware of the battle situation, where the enemy is, and what he is doing. It also depicts how Army aviation moves men at 100 miles an hour, how the helicopter may replace the truck in moving supplies, and how the Army's new light aircraft give the ground commander "eyes in the skies".
