This robust helicopter was first introduced in the mid-fifties and may be the best-known rotor-blade aircraft worldwide. Reliability is its greatest feature. It was designed for the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Thousands of UH-Ls are in service as transport, ambulance, and attack aircraft. Licensed production in Italy, Germany, and Japan makes it part of the armed and police forces of more than fifty nations. Presently, twin-engine versions (Italeri kit no. 847) are being produced. This helicopter may well serve for the next twenty years or more.
