388th Avation Co.

The 388th Aviation Company was a U.S. Army aviation unit activated during the Vietnam War era. It was established in 1966 and primarily operated the OV-1 Mohawk, a twin-engine observation and reconnaissance aircraft. The company conducted aerial surveillance, reconnaissance, and intelligence-gathering missions in support of ground operations throughout Vietnam. The 388th earned recognition for its vital contribution to battlefield awareness and its skilled pilots who flew dangerous missions over hostile territory. The unit was eventually inactivated as the war wound down and U.S. forces withdrew from Vietnam.
