THE HUEY IN VIETNAM

Few aircraft are as iconic to the Vietnam War as the Bell Huey UH-1. Officially named the “Iroquois” but affectionately called the “Huey,” this versatile helicopter served as troop transport, supply hauler, aerial gunship, and medevac lifeline. From its early HU-1A designation to its legendary service in Vietnam, the Huey became a symbol of America’s presence in Southeast Asia—where 11 of its crewmen earned the Medal of Honor. This illustrated volume, featuring archival documents and photographs, captures the history of the Huey and the men who flew it.
