List of Aircraft
The list of helicopters used by the Seawolves in Vietnam has been compiled from numerous sources including official documents, magazine articles and photographs. Although the squadron at maximum strength probably never operated more than 40 aircraft at any one time, the actual number of helicopters assigned to the squadron between 1966 and 1972 was considerably more.
