Huey helicopters were extensively used in the military and are generally considered to be the most widely used helicopter in the world. Easily identifiable by it's thundering sound and iconic shape, playing a predominant role in several Hollywood blockbusters such as Apocalypse Now, M.A.S.H, Full Metal Jacket and Platoon.

The most widely used military helicopter, the Bell UH-1 series Iroquois, better known as the "Huey", began arriving in Vietnam in 1963. Before the end of the conflict, more than 5,000 of these versatile aircraft were introduced into Southeast Asia. "Hueys" were used for MedEvac, command and control, and air assault; to transport personnel and material; and as gun ships. Considered to be the most widely used helicopter in the world, with more than 9,000 produced from the 1950s to the present, the Huey is flown today by about 40 countries.
