A nine-year-old has fascinated US war veterans and the public with his homemade website of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois nicknamed the Huey Helicopter.

Kevin Dutton's fascination began after a helicopter landed in his school four years ago.

Kevin began collecting its memorabilia and created the website as a school project which has gone on to prove immensely popular, and he has been overwhelmed with messages of praise.

One Vietnam veteran wrote: "Long after those of us who flew the Huey are gone, we will depend on young men like yourself to educate the public about the Huey."

It seems refreshing that a young boy wants to share his Huey fascination. Who knows what his future holds? When did your fascination for aviation begin.
