The coming of the Skyvan
was to change our ability to re-supply the ground forces. It's ability

and especially water, was to advance dramatically the capabilities of the
soldiers on the ground. It's flat floor made it a significantly more useful
vehicle for casualty evacuation and stretcher carrying.
