H-19 HMR-161 Korea 1953

U.S. Marines debarking from a Sikorsky HRS-1 (BuNo 127798) in Korea, ca. 1953. The helicopter was assigned to Marine helicopter transport squadron HMR-161, 1st Marine division and crashed into the sea 40 km (25 mi) south of Pusan, South Korea, during a rendezvous with an aircraft carrier on 2 February 1953. The pilot Captain Allen W. Ruggles and his crew chief, Technical Sergeant Joseph L. Brand Jr. died in the crash. Mechanical trouble was believed to have been the cause; neither the bodies nor the aircraft were recovered.
