The Bell Huey - Vietnam War Horse
Episode 2 of 6
Series which chronicles the impact of technology on war focuses on the Bell Huey helicopter, which symbolised the American involvement in Vietnam.
The Bell-Huey helicopter was designer and built for air mobility, the rapid transport of troops and the provision of gun and rocket support. It gave the Americans an early advantage in the jungles of South Vietnam, but the North Vietnamese soon learned to lure the Hueys to the places they wanted to fight. Through such films as Apocalypse Now, the Huey came to symbolise the American involvement in the Vietnam conflict.
