Back to Objects Main > H-5 Helicopter

Real Identity: Bell Helicopter UH-1 "Huey" Iroquois
Affiliation(s): US Marine Corps
Specifications: Multipurpose Helicopter




In the 1950's, helicopters were outfitted with turbine engines rather than piston ones. Turbines were considerably more long-living, durable and lightweight. In 1955, the US Army was eager to develop a powerful mecdical evacuation helicopter and contracted Bell to create one. The HU-1A became the first turbine powered U.S. helicopter to go into production. It quickly was nicknamed the "Huey" and was rarely referred to by its official designation. Lois Lane managed to convince a pilot to transport her around to cover the Korean War and later the Centre.
