Image description

A Hiller UH-12A helicopter, also known as the Hiller 360, is loaded with the pesticide Gesarol to spray large areas and fight May bugs eating leaves and branches, photographed in 1949, in the canton of Thurgau, Switzerland. The may bug, also called doodlebug or cockchafer, infested many regions and became a major pest during the years of mass flight in the middle of the 20th century.
