In October 1952, my late father was involved in what I believe is the first ever, helicopter-to-helicopter mid-air collision.
My article about the flight is in the current issue (June/July) of Air & Space Smithsonian magazine. Here's the link:

Interesting story, thanks for sharing. Glad there were no injuries, a rarity in such events!
