Nickname for Apache helicopter
An online article suggests, without citation or reference, that the U.S.
Marine Corps nicknamed its Apache helicopter (through three models) as "The Duke," presumably in honor of actor John Wayne. I cannot find corroboration for this statement in web searches. Has anyone here with either first-hand or citable evidence to support it ever heard this story? Jim Beaver
