Due to your context "what was - -" I assume you mean an object. - The Iroquois helicopter was possibly the best 'utility' helicopter ever built. Known to airmen and soldiers worldwide as the "Huey" , it first flew in 1956 and over 16,000 were built over the years. Over 8,000 of these aircraft served in action in Vietnam and in the Middle East and the characteristic "whop, whop, whop" sound of it's twin blades are embeded in many old soldiers minds. The Huey was everything, - a cargo carrier, a troop carrier, an ambulance, the first attack helicopter and often the one that brought you back to 'the world'
