a_v_c_o_AKP (S-63-11338)
In this 1963 North American Aviation(?) artist’s concept, a Sikorsky HUS-1/UH-34D Seahorse recovery helicopter moves in - I guess to land - after the land/terrestrial ‘touchdown’ of the Apollo Command Module. Note the distinctly USMC-like appearance of the helicopter, despite the intentionally illegible markings. At the time, the HUS-1/UH-34D was the aircraft being used in the ocean recoveries of Mercury capsules.
