The idea was to supplement the Army helicopters. The Hughes (RACA-Hughes) were also deployed in the AAF bases.

When the essay was published (next week?) I will post all the helicopters employed and some very interesting pictures.

Those ad-hoc fleet was the first Army Aviation Reserve force. And because of that, I am really into it!
