For this final unit, we are wrapping up our story by looking specifically at helicopters and stealth technology. Although helicopters were first developed in the Soviet Union during the 1930s, their greatest impact came after World War II and especially during the Vietnam War. The development of stealth technology grew out of the need to spy or attack while remaining virtually unobservable on radar during the Cold War.
