The photographer framed the Pinwheel helicopter (see photo 678360) with this S-51 of the US Forest Service. Other shots show the reg clearly as N155Z but it's not listed by the FAA or anywhere else. From 1960 N155Z was worn by a C-46 Commando that the FAA has also forgotten about. Photo by: Ralph Crane / Life

A very interesting photo as Skyway from Providence, Massachusetts, operated the world's first helicopter passenger service apparently between Logan airport and this garage rooftop in central Boston. A trial flight was made on 16 April 1947 and commercial runs started within days, but were suspended after four months. NC92809 was reportedly the company's sole helicopter. It went to the US Coast Guard as 230, one of four S-51s returned to the manufacturer after commercial failures and sold to the USCG as HO3S-1G Dragonflies.

Two of the earliest S-51s were acquired by the French navy in 1951 and 1952, receiving serials AR.1 (c/n 5102) and AR.2 (c/n 5106). AR.1 was damaged in Djibouti on 7 September 1951 while presumably on its way to Indochina with the aircraft carrier Arromanches. AR.2 did make it to Indochina later. Both helicopters withdrawn from use at Saint-Raphaël, France in March 1955.

Experimental air mail delivery in Brooklyn. We found the location doing a reverse image search for the church. HAT was the first commercial helicopter operator. The S-51 appears to be NC92803, delivered to the company from Camden, New Jersey in September 1946. HAT filed for bankruptcy in October 1947. NC92803 went to the US Coast Guard as an HO3S, 233.

The first helicopter in the Netherlands on its first flight in the country, piloted by Hein Bulten, a former fighter pilot. The 'lifting airscrew aircraft' was used for trials including mail and cropdusting flights. It was purchased by the navy as 8-1 (H-1) in 1951 and served until 1959.

Delivered in 1947, A80-1 was the first helicopter for the RAAF and the Australian military. Written off when it crashed into the Murray River on or about December 4, 1951. The RAAF didn't get into helicopters in a big way until the 1960s and the Vietnam War the arrival of UH-1 Iroquois. Went on to operate CH-47 Chinook, AS350 Squirrel and UH-60 Black Hawks. In 1989 all helicopters were transferred to the Army. Today civilian operators provide SAR at RAAF bases. Photo from: National Library of Australia
