Red Crosses

(The U.S. Air Force also used the H-19 as a search and rescue rc helicopters in Korea.) By the mid-1950s, the U.S. Army began searching for a replacement medevac aircraft for the Bell Model 47 and soon selected the Bell Model 204, HU-1A (later UH-1A) “Huey.” In early 1962, the 57th Medical Detachment (electric rc helicopters Ambulance) went to Vietnam to provide medevac service to the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces. The unit’s Hueys often had large red crosses painted on their side and nose.
