Coast Guard Helicopter to the Rescue. Demonstrating the value of the heliocopter [helicopter] as a sea rescue craft, a Coast Guard pilot takes off from the surface of the sea and rises vertically after having picked up a "shipwreck victim". Safely strapped in a litter beside the cabin, the patient rides horizontally and without tipping, as the heliocopter sets its course for land.
