UH-1 Iroquois - How The Huey Changed EVERYTHING

Watch my video on the Cobra:    • How Bell Helicopters Turned The HUEY Into ...   Support me (a human!) on Patreon:   / redwrenchfilms   The Huey is, well... the Huey. Officially known as the "Iroquois", the UH-1 series of utility helicopters soon became the backbone of the US Army's offensive operations as they smashed their way through Vietnam. Upgraded many times through the years, from the prototype XH-40 to the iconic UH-1D and, finally, the UH-1Y Venom, the Huey is probably the most famous helicopter of all time. Just a shame I couldn't license "Fortunate Son".
