My uncle flew corsairs in WWII with VMF-111 (he was bunkmates with Ted Williams in flight school), and flew with the Ridgerunners of HMR-163 in Korea. Thanks for posting this!
Assuming you mean the helicopters shown from 1:40 to 2:02, those aren't the Piasecki H-21, but rather its predecessor, the original "Flying Banana", the Piasecki HRP-1. I don't see any H-21s in this film. While I'm at it, most of this film focuses on the Sikorsky HRS, the Marines transport version of the H-19 Chickasaw (Sikorsky model S-55), but other helicopters shown are the Sikorsky HO3S-1 (H-5, Sikorsky model S-51) performing various jobs and, from 6:24 to 6:49, a Bell H-19 (Bell model 47) doing wirelaying.
Could someone help me find out about my grandfather? My dad told me he flew mustangs down through the valleys for the marines. His name was Glen McIntyre. From arkansas
Great old footage of Sikorsky helicopters. But WHY must there be that distracting, pointless timer banner at the bottom of the frame? What on earth were/are 'Periscope Films' thinking ? It is not a useful addition to what is otherwise un-cluttered footage. Thumbs down 'Periscope Films' - Better still; why not re-name yourselves 'Microscope Films' since that's about the amount of screen available to view after all the pointless counters are added on!
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films like this one were destroyed and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like this on online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. So, in the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous TH-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content. We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to deal with these kind of issues.
@@PeriscopeFilm Thanks for the lengthy response. Presumably Periscope Films did not take the footage in the first place - someone else did that. Moreover, judging by the news reel style and voice overs, these old clips were paid for by news companies or the military. To that extent, I'd wager that these clips are NOT in any jeopardy of becoming lost :- quite the contrary: These are carefully archived films that Periscope Films might have sought explicitly to on-sell via a subscription to viewers. For it's part, TH-cam merely provides a free platform for Periscope Films to effectively advertise re-packaged footage that someone else shot in the first place! Hardly grounds on which to feel cheated by naughty 'youtubers' who re-post 'Periscope Films' footage: Isn't that the same act? Presumably Periscope Films has full permission to use footage from those who originally shot it or at least the archivists who stored the reels. I could be wrong though...

The H-21 "Flying Banana" is featured in this film.

This video came out before the H21 introduced
@lol-un6nl Perhaps one of its predecesors?
Thanks for this 👍

My dad was a orphan my grandfather didnt raise him. Dad said only thing he ever knew was what someone else told him about his father.
I don't know anything about that, but it's really cool hearing about a Mustang pilot from my state of Arkansas
