Pardon me for my ignorance, but was this even in operation during WWII? I know it was originally "built" in 1943 for test flights, but I thought it didn't get into ops until after the war was over?

Yes I know it was a 1945s heli but it can still make changes to AcesHigh... Like a Medic Copter in Vietnam? Or Tank supply drop?

Again, it's a post-war helicopter.  It doesn't have a place in the game, only planes and vehicles that saw service during the war are eligible.
