The Sikorsky S-55 entered service with the U.S. military in 1950 and served under several designations, including HO4S (Navy and Coast Guard), HRS (Marines), and H-19 Chickasaw (Army and Air Force). Over 1100 were built. In Korea it served as an Army transport and Air Force rescue and medevac helicopter. It saw its last action with the U.S. military in the early days of the Vietnam war. The S-55 was used by the French in Algeria as both a transport and gunship, and many copies were built in Britain as the Westland Whirlwind.
