About the UH-1D "Huey" - Multipurpose Utility Helicopter:
The UH-1D “Huey” is iconic in American military history. Commonly seen in media depicting the Vietnam War, the Huey was responsible for changing the way we conduct armed conflict. Before the advent of the helicopter, troop mobility was restricted by their movement on the ground. The helicopter allowed troops to be inserted and retrieved in a fraction of the time it took to march somewhere. When the helicopter was first introduced into the Korean War, the use of these vehicles to evacuate casualties to MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) units near the front cut the death rate for wounded soldiers to numbers never seen in war.
Thousands of these helicopters were deployed across Vietnam, fulfilling roles including medevac, troop transport, and gunship. The image of the Huey filled American televisions during the first fully-televised war in history until mounting casualties and public protest ended the war in 1975.
