Notes:
MM80840 / EI-818 - Preserved at Volandia Aviation Museum Milano Malpensa Italy - The CH-47 Chinook is a medium helicopter capable of carrying loads comparable to those of aircraft. It is used for military and commercial transport and for disaster relief. Conceived in 1956 in reply to a US Army battlefield mobility requirement, the Vertol Model 114 offered a large and easily accessible cargo box thanks to the layout typical of Frank Piasecki (1919-2008) designs, with two counter-rotating rotors atop the fuselage that allowed dispensing with the tail-mounted antitorque rotor. The new helicopter could carry up to 8 tons or 44 soldiers. The prototype flew on 21 September 1961, by when Vertol had been absorbed by Boeing. The first CH-47A were delivered in 1962 and found use in Vietnam.
