UH-1D Huey US Army Vietnam, 1968 Diecast Model Helicopter
Expected Late July 2010. Forces of Valor UH-1D Huey US Army Helicopter Model. First flown on October 20, 1956, the UH-1 (nicknamed “Huey”) was designed to meet a US Army need for a helicopter to perform casualty operations and general utility roles. The Huey first entered service in Vietnam in 1962 where it proved to be rugged and reliable. Its design provided for an ideal combination of cabin room, speed, and lifting capability. Machine guns and rocket pods allowed return fire from door gunners at the rear and sides of the aircraft. Troops could now be taken into combat by the Huey helicopter and dropped at key strategic positions such as enemy escape routes.
