Historical description of the H-34 helicopter

The Sikorsky H-34 (also known in military versions as the S-58) is a multi-role transport helicopter that was widely used in many countries from the 1950s through the later decades of the Cold War. Its most notable use was for transport and combat support by the United States military during the Vietnam War (1960s), as well as numerous rescue and transport operations throughout Europe and NATO countries. This helicopter played a vital role in the equipment of the US Army, US Marines, as well as the air forces of France, the UK, and Italy.
