Description: The battle was named for the two American Black Hawk helicopters shot down by Aideed's militiamen.

This design is my humble tribute to all does heroes to risked their own life, and to all does who didn't make it back home.

Black Hawk earned his status as a war chief or captain by his actions: leading raiding and war parties as a young man, and a band of Sauk warriors during the Black Hawk War of 1832. During the War of 1812, Black Hawk had fought on the side of the British against the U.S., hoping to push white American settlers away from Sauk territory.

Description: The UH-60A entered service with the U.S. Military in 1979, to replace the Bell UH-1 Iroquois as the Army's tactical transport helicopter. This was followed by the fielding of electronic warfare and special operations variants of the Black Hawk. In addition to U.S. Military use, the UH-60 family has been exported to several nations.
