HELICOPTERS 2
The H-3 and the H-53
are two of the larger members of the
Sikorsky family of
helicopters.
The H-3 first flew in
1959 (as the YHSS-2), designed as a
combined hunter-killer
anti-submarine helicopter. It has
subsequently been
developed for a number of utility roles,
including Presidential
transport, and was made famous in
the Vietnam war as
the "Jolly Green Giant" rescuing
downed pilots. It
has been produced under licence in
Canada, Japan, Italy
and England.
The H-53 first flew
in 1964 and is a larger helicopter again,
combining the dynamic
components of the S-64 Skycrane
with a new watertight
hull. In use with several US forces
and exported to several
countries, the H-53 series is
utilised in the long-range
infiltration, rescue, utility, mine
-sweeping and heavy-lift
roles.
This CD contains four
flight manuals for these larger
Sikorsky military
helicopters.
