Bell UH-1B
"Iroquois"

First flown in 1960 the HU1B (now UH-1b) carried a crew of two and seven troops or three litters, two sitting casualties and medical attendant or 3,000 pounds of freight.  In Vietnam, many UH-1Bs were used in the armed support role with a rock pack and electrically-controlled macine gun mounted on each side of the fuselage.  UH-1Bs were also used by the South Vietnam and Cambodia Air Forces.

The UH-1B was superseded by the UH-1C on the Bell assembly line.  Another version, the UH1F was used for psychological warfare missions in Vietnam.  The final production version was the UH-1H.  Deliveries of this version began in 1967 and totaled 3,573.
