About this product

Product Information

The US Army requirement for a light utility helicopter was formulated after the Korean War. Bell's Model 204 design won a competition in 1955, and was given the military designation H-40, later renamed the HU-1 Iroquois. The original design called for a helicopter that could be used for transport, airborne battlefield command and control, medical evacuation, fire support co-ordination and search and rescue. Later its missions would be expanded to include troop insertion/extraction, armed escort and special operations. This title details all the technological background behind the development and use of the Huey "Slick" in Vietnam, as well as covering all the major uses that this transport aircraft was put to.

  • Bell UH - 1 Huey "Slicks" 1962 - 1975

    This book is well written on the technical , historical ,variant design of the Huey and the reader needs understand that it only describes the time frame most associated with the Campaign in Southeast Asia.The book does give well respected reference to those honorable men by name who gave their all. It is great for quick reference on the subject of the UH-1.The color plates and military unit discription could use improvement for those units that participated.The sounds of this beloved machine will never fade as I myself rode in one.It is a good book. It shortcoming is that there is so much more information on the subject that it is rated average. To the student and the curious ,read well. To those that have been their ,my total respect to you.

  • Bell UH-1 Huey "Slicks" by Chris Bishop

    Very nice book, well put together with extensive information concerning rarely encountered variants and in depth explaination of post United States use of the bird in Vietnam. A nice resource for the history buff as well as the scale modeler. I would have liked to see more color photographs of the ship and her interior.
