Description

From the museum website:

BY BELL

The Bell UH-1 is one of the most successful helicopter types in history, with over 16,000 produced worldwide. The UH-1 is also one of the most familiar symbols of the Vietnam War.

The prototype UH-1 first flew in 1956 and went into production for the U.S. Army in 1959. It was the U.S. military’s first turbine-powered helicopter. The initial Army designation was “HU-1,” which led to the common unofficial nickname “Huey.” The designation was changed to UH-1 in 1962 but the nickname stuck.

Deliveries of the first USAF version of the Huey, the UH-1F, began in 1964. UH-1Fs were initially intended to support strategic bomber bases and missile sites but they soon began flying in combat in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.

Warner Robins Air Logistics Center provides logistics and program support for UH-1s worldwide.
