Limited Edition #5983 of 15,000.

The Cobra attack
helicopter was developed as a tank killer for the US military to stop
the Soviet tanks in Europe. It proved a very effective fighting machine
in the jungles of Vietnam as well, riding shotgun for the slower, more
lightly armed Hueys that ferried troops to the field and wounded back
from it. The armament of VT 26 follows a standard configuration for a
single engined AH-1G, M158 A1 seven shot and M200 A1 19 shot 2.75 inch
rocket launchers on each wing with an M134 mini-gun and grenade launcher
in the nose turret. First Lieutenant Mark Austin Byrd flew with HML367
and was the first unit to receive the US Army version of the Cobra, the G
model. Read how Mark was able to back up Marines on the ground during a
daring raid.
