history
The military helicopter Bell UH-1 series Iroquois better known as the "Huey" was first produced in the late 1950s. Its invaluable and emotive usage during the Vietnam War was widely recorded in numerous Hollywood feature films including Apocalypse Now, M.A.S.H, Full Metal Jacket and Platoon which helped it achieve legendary status worldwide. Huey’s were utilized for Medevac, command and control, transportation and as assault gun ships.
Over 16000 Huey’s were manufactured and between them they have logged over 27
million flight hours from the 1950's to the present day making them the most widely
used helicopters in the world.
