The Bell AH-1 is a twin-engine attack helicopter developed by Bell Helicopter in the 1960s. It was designed primarily for close air support and anti-armor operations during the Vietnam War. The AH-1 features a distinctive tandem cockpit, allowing the pilot and co-pilot/gunner to sit one behind the other, enhancing visibility and reducing the helicopter's profile. Equipped with advanced avionics and weapon systems, the AH-1 can carry a variety of armaments, including rockets, missiles, and a 20mm cannon. Its agility and speed make it effective in combat situations, and it has been used by several military forces worldwide, including the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps.
