History of the Original: AH-1G Cobra

The Bell AH-1G Cobra was the world’s first dedicated attack helicopter, designed to meet the needs of the US Army in the 1960s. The “early” version represents the initial units that saw intensive use during the Vietnam War (second half of the 1960s and the 1970s). This version served as the primary fire support helicopter for the US Army, experiencing its combat debut in the fiercest battles of Vietnam. The operational use of the AH-1G contributed to the development of modern helicopter combat tactics, and the design itself has become iconic.
