The big U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter is the direct descendant of a Navy contract awarded during WW II to a young helicopter pioneer, Frank Piasecki, and his group of part-time engineers to design, build and fly what would be at the time the world’s largest helicopter, the HRP-1 Rescuer. It would also be the first successful tandem-rotor helicopter. His experience?: A tiny single -eat, single-main-rotor helicopter built in a garage from junk and used hardware that he taught himself to fly.
