HTL Sioux Air Crew Korea Patch — HTL Helicopter Korean War-Era Aircrew Embroidered Patch

HTL Sioux — the light observation and medevac helicopter of the Korean War.

The Bell HTL (H-13 Sioux) served as a light observation and medical evacuation helicopter during the Korean War. Made famous by its association with battlefield medevac, the HTL Sioux carried wounded Marines from the frontlines to aid stations, saving countless lives that would have been lost waiting for ground evacuation. HTL crews flew in all weather conditions, often under enemy fire, to reach wounded Marines in remote positions across Korea’s rugged mountains and valleys. The Sioux also served in the observation role, providing commanders with aerial reconnaissance of enemy positions.

Perfect For:
Korean War helicopter aircrew veterans, HTL/H-13 Sioux enthusiasts, medevac aviation historians, Marine observation helicopter community, and vintage Korean War aviation patch collectors.
