Bell H-13 Sioux
Originally designed as a
single engine, light helicopter for use by civilians, the Bell H-13
Sioux first flew on December 8, 1945 as the Bell 47 prototype. Later
redesignated H-13 by the United States Army Air Forces, the improved
aircraft was used as an observation and basic training helicopter. The
design is characterized by a full bubble canopy, skid landing gear and
welded-tube tail boom. It has two high-level mounted saddle fuel tanks
and a two bladed single rotor. The H-13 was immortalized by the
long-running television show M.A.S.H., where it was portrayed in its
role as a medevac aircraft.
