Great photos! I've not heard of Jinx. I'll have to look her up!

The WWII Helicopter stuff is fascinating. Is there a book about their use in WWII? Seems that is something you never see or read about anywhere until post-war.

That's because they were busy fighting a war and doing stuff that wasn't "glamorous" just like the L-birds they were working right alongside and began to supplement.

There's plenty of L-bird stuff out there. The helicopter info is sparse at best.
