Vietnam was truly a helicopter war- approximately 12,000 helicopters of all makes flew in the Vietnam War and of those that flew, 5607 were lost. ⁣ ⁣ Of the all the helicopters that served in Vietnam, 6987 were Bell UH-1 Iroquois “Hueys”- and 3304 of them were lost in the war. To put that number in perspective, Bell produced 10,005 UH-1s from 1957 to 1975. Of those produced, the lion’s share went to the US Army, 9216 airframes. Just over one out of every three Hueys delivered to the US Army were lost in Vietnam! ⁣ ⁣ For comparison, 40% of all B-17s produced were lost in the Second World War. ⁣ ⁣ 1151 Huey pilots were killed in action in Vietnam. That’s just a bit over 50% of all helicopter pilots killed in action in Vietnam. Non pilot Huey crew killed action (door gunners, etc) was 1231, again, this nearly half of all non-pilot helicopter crews killed in action in Vietnam. ⁣ ⁣ It’s very possible that no other aircraft in history has flown more combat flight time than the Bell UH-1- the Army’s Huey fleet from 1966 to 1975 flew 10.6 million flight hours in Vietnam. ⁣ ⁣ #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KRBD #RBD #Dallas #airport #texas #igtexas #Bell #UH1 #Iroquois #Huey #mil_aviation_originals #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #WingsOverDallas2018 #WoD2018 #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeeksAero (at Dallas Executive Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SyeTlBdRc/?igshid=7p3gs3h6q8m7
