| Description |
"Originally produced by Piasecki, the H-21 series was produced from 1949 to 1955. In August 1956, a U.S. Army H-21 made the first non-stop flight across the United States. The flight covered 2610 miles, lasted 37 hours, and made history by executing the first in-flight refueling maneuver of a helicopter. The "Shawnee" had a lift capacity of 2300 pounds of cargo, internal or external, and was capable of transporting 20 combat troops. Additionally, the Army tested several experimental weapons systems on this helicopter. The H-21 saw extensive use in Korea and was the transport workhorse in Vietnam until 1964." Information on Army Aviation Museum placard. affectionately known as the "Flying Banana" due to its long curved shape. |
