AK130037 - The UH-1 helicopter was originally developed in the 1950's as a medical evacuation aircraft. Turbine-powered, it became an enduring symbol of the Vietnam war, where the Bell UH-1 Huey helicopter played a vital role in the U.S. Army warfare doctrine from 1962 until the American withdrawal in 1973. The Huey was also used as a troop transporter, gunship and command centre in two elite airmobile divisions. In the medical evacuation role, the Huey exceeded all expectations and quickly surpassed earlier piston-powered helicopters in the troop transport role, while also proving effective as a gunship. The UH-1 proved to be so versatile that the U.S. Marine corps, the USAF and the USN also employed the Huey in various roles in Vietnam alongside the U.S. Army. The Bell model 204 and model 205, short and long fuselage UH-1 versions, evolved through several variants, each introducing more powerful engines. For both fans of this helicopter and military history enthusiasts this book offers an extraordinary collection of historical photographs, colour profiles of the units deployed in Vietnam, extensive documentation covering its development, operations and legacy. Essential for enthusiasts, modellers and historians.
