What did the wing of The Winged Hussars do?

by Ludingir

What exactly was the reason these troops were so powerful? What distinguished them from a normal cavalry unit? And how did those wings bring advantages when they fought?

Or is it because the Winged Hussers became so legendary that they did it in the siege of Vienna?
