Helicopters could take soldiers into almost any environment. The Bell® UH-1 Huey® in all its variations has become synonymous with the Vietnam War, but more importantly it signified a shift in tactical ideology. As was common in the Vietnam era, many UH-1(E) helicopters were adorned with artwork to fit the personality of their crews. It offered protection to troop transports and convoys, and carried out search and destroy missions with AH-1 Cobras, as well as with PBRs and PCFs in the Mekong Delta. The gunship variant saw use in support and attack roles. 50 caliber machine guns, and for added punch seven- or nineteen-round 2.75” rocket pods. Armament could vary based on mission, but a common load out included up to six 7.62x51mm M60 machine guns-both door mounted and tandem mounted on the craft’s wings-or GAU-17/A air-cooled. Of course, “standard” is not in the Marines vocabulary, so the base transport and cargo UH-1(E) was upgraded to a gunship version. The Marine variation was formally called the UH-1(E) Iroquois.
Later models were upgraded to the T53-L-13 which pushed 1,400 shp. Initially, the craft was powered by a Lycoming T53-L-11 turboshaft engine that produced 1,100 shp. Upgrades from the Army model to the Marine version included: all-aluminum construction to resist corrosion, Marine compatible avionics, a rotor brake to stop the rotor while on board ships, and a roof mounted rescue hoist. The Bell® UH-1(B), which was already in service with the U.S. In 1962, the United States Marine Corps was looking for a transport and support helicopter to replace the quirky Kaman OH-43D helicopter.
