	Bell UH-1 Huey Helicopter
		But its unofficial name, Huey, became so commonly used that the AH-1 attack version was officially named the Huey Cobra.
		With larger engines and increased capacity, the UH was developed through successive models.
		Like their Army counterparts, the Marine Hueys served all manner of combat roles, including that of armed gunships.

	UH-1B-H Huey
		With the need for the replacements for the Alouette III becoming obvious due to a expanding role for the RSAFs rotary-wing assets, 3 Bell UH-1N(Bell 212s) and 17 UH-1H Huey helicopters were ordered.
		However, the Hueys finest hour was undoubtedly what has come to be known as the "Cable Car Rescue".
		A replacement would be due soon, though any replacement would find it difficult to match the flexibility and economy of this ubiquitous helicopter.

	UH-1 Iroquois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, commonly (or officially in the USMC) known as the "Huey", was a multipurpose military helicopter, famous for its use in the Vietnam war.
		Hueys tasked with an attack role were outfitted with rocket launchers, grenade launchers, and/or machine guns were called "Hogs" or "Frogs".
		Hueys can be seen in every Vietnam War related movie and television show and also, in the Transformers as the Protectobot Blades.

		The "Huey" as it was called after it's original model designation, the HU-1, was essentially a stretched Bell (model 47) Sioux with room for seven troops or three stretchers in it's cargo compartment behind the pilot.
		Unarmed MedEvac "Hueys" were called "Dust Offs", because of the clouds of dust they kicked-up when landing, and were used for the aeromedical evacuation of casualties.
		The Huey Cobra was somewhat smaller and simpler, and after quick development got into action in Vietnam in autumn 1967, for the first time bringing heavy firepower into the USA airmobile companies.

	The Bell UH-1 Huey
		Huey gunships would in fact remain in service in Vietnam up to the end of the war, though that was mainly due to the fact that there weren't enough Cobras to replace them.
		A Huey gunship with an M-5 was called a "Frog"; one with the XM-3 was called a "Hog"; and one with both was called a "Heavy Hog".
		Some Hueys were fitted with wooden chutes outside the doors to allow flight crew to drop mortar rounds on enemy positions, with aircrew simply yanking the bottom doors of the chutes open with wires to drop the loads.

		The first Huey helicopter assigned to Hurlburt Field was the UH-1P, which was among the 16 types of aircraft assigned here in 1969.
		Although the Huey helicopters were reliable aircraft, military flying has always been and will always be a hazardous operation.
		By dismantling the Hueys to a certain extent, a C-5 could carry four anywhere in the world in a minimum amount of time, or a C-141B could rapidly deploy three.

		Following upon the decision to use the Huey for armed helicopter support, the conversion of a portion of the Huey fleet into gunships using.30 caliber machine guns and 2.75 inch rockets was greatly expedited.
		The Huey was used for medical evacuation escort, reconnaissance team insert/extractions, assault operations, direct fire support of engaged Marine ground units, TACA duties, and convoy escort, as well as other missions.
		From 1967 onwards the AH-1G "Huey Cobra" began replacing the UH-1B/C to become the standard helicopter gunship in Vietnam, although "Charlie" and "Mike" model Hueys continued to serve until the end of the war.

		It was initially known to the US Army as the H-40, but changed to HU-1 when it entered service and given the name Iroquois.
		It was also the first of the long line of "Hueys", a nickname which spawned from the HU part of the HU-1 designation.

	Cobra Attack Helicopter
		The development of the Bell AH-1 "Huey" Cobra dates back to the 1960's when the need was recognized for a light fast armed escort helicopter designed specifically to carry weapons and be able to target them very accurately.
		The Cobra traces its lineage from the UH-1 Huey and was originally developed for the US Army in the mid-sixties.
		The decision to buy the Cobra, which was built primarily of Huey parts and thus a quick and relatively cheap development for Bell, created strong conflict within the Army between operators and material developers.

		Successfully landing the Huey 150 meters from Viet Cong lines, he carried his wounded crew chief 30 meters from the aircraft.
		Despite being wounded himself by enemy fire, he retrieved an M-60 machine gun with ammunition from his helicopter and maintained a defensive position just long enough for a rescue helicopter to land and for him to carry his critically injured crew chief to safety.
		He was a crewman and later a Tandem Rotor Helicopter mechanic on the UH-21 Shawnee helicopters that flew combat assault missions.

	WarFactory - Mad Minutes Design Notes
		This Huey is equipped with twin 25 rocket pods and a chin mounted 40mm grenade launcher.
		It is easily recognisable because the exhaust of its powerful engine points sideways, and it also has a longer tail boom than the other short bodied Hueys.
		The UH-1H has a longer cabin, and a more powerful engine than the 1B & 1C, so was generally used for troop transportation, and could carry up to 14.

		The First Huey designated XH-40 flew on the 22nd October 1956 and the Us army began receiving the 6 seat Huey on the 30th June 1959 this was soon followed by the 9 seat or 3 stretcher and an attendant and crew UH-1B in early 1962.
		A trio of Bell Huey UH-1s deliver ARVN Rangers to a drop zone in the central Highlands of Vietnam during 1970.
		The ubiquitous Huey saw action in an enormous variety of roles, Vietnam being the first true helicopter war, and it will perhaps be remembered by many a grateful GI for its (and its crews) part in many hundreds of daring rescues amid the unyielding and unfamiliar terrain of south east Asia.

	TOW Chronology
		Before two of the reported T-54 tanks could cross the river and reach the cover of the thick undergrowth along Route QL-14, TOW missiles fired at a range of 2500 meters stopped the tanks “dead in their tracks.” Flames spouted 30-feet high from the burning armor because of secondary ammunition explosions.
		Tactical aircraft, the TOW-equipped HUEY helicopters, and the efforts of the frontline soldiers stemmed the enemy advance by 1000.
		Although the HUEYs encountered considerable machine gun fire, neither of the gunships was hit by enemy fire because they stayed high.

	The Bell UH-1 Huey
		Statistics showed that helicopters were by no inherently vulnerable, with a loss rate of less than one in 8,000 sorties, The high losses reflected their heavy use rather than fragility, with the heavy use leading to crew fatigue that contributed to the high accident rate.
		Bell offers a UH-1H update designated the "UH-1HP Huey II", which involves modifying the Lycoming T53-L-13 engine up to T53-L-703 standard, giving it 400 more horsepower for a total of 1,800 horsepower; a new dynamic system, derived from that of the UH-1N and the Model 212, to handle the greater horsepower; and new avionics.
