Fine Vietnam War relic, the fire control panel and maker's plate from a Bell AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter, widely used in Vietnam from 1967, on. The overall presentation is 11 in. wide x 5.25 in. deep x 5 in. tall. At left is affixed the fire control panel with indicator lights and switches for activating and clearing weapons, bypassing pilot control, launching smoke grenades, selecting weapons, etc. At right the maker's plate is affixed showing particulars of the aircraft and manufacturing date of November, 1972. The center bears a chronometer, apparently not working. The owner of this artifact was a pilot, and his two pilot's wings are affixed to the green aluminum frame above and below the chronometer. Finally, the orange wood base of the panel was part of a box once containing 'DETONATING FUZES'. A label on the base indicates that the panel came from a Cobra attached to the 155th Attack Helicopter Co., Fort Ord. It crashed at Fort Hunter Liggett in April 1977 at which time the pilot of the doomed aircraft recovered these parts as souvenirs. The 155th Attack Helicopter Co. was one of the most heavily-engaged helicopter units of the war.
