The UH-1 Iriquois was known as the workhorse in Vietnam, because the tactics in use at the time placed heavy emphasis on airlift capability. The UH-1 was used to haul personnel, it was used as an ambulance, it was used to haul cargo, it was used as a gunship.. basically, it was the most commonly seen helicopter in use, and was a major breakthrough compared to previous military helicopters in using a turbine engine, rather than an internal combustion engine.
