The Bell UH-1 is perhaps the best-known American helicopter in the world.\u00a0 Made famous by its use in Vietnam, versions of the \u201cHuey\u201d remain in both military and civil service today.\u00a0 Designated HU-1 by the Army and H-40 by the Air Force, the first Hueys flew in 1958.\u00a0 In 1962, the designations were changed to UH-1.\u00a0 By the mid-1960s, Hueys could be found in every branch of the U.S. military and were entering the civil and foreign military markets.\u00a0 The \u201cF\u201d model of the UH-1 was built for the Air Force specifically to provide support for the Titan and Minuteman missile sites.\u00a0 It featured a new engine and gearbox system that initially gave it a new designation of XH-48A.\u00a0 The UH-1F now on display is the first prototype of this version of the Huey.\u00a0 A total of 119 UH-1Fs were built between 1964 and 1967.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
