A total of 52 H-19s from the US Air Force and army are present here, sandwiched all together like this. From my vantage point I could only see about a quarter, but 129022 was one of them. Even though I can't recall nor read from the full rez pic which exactly.

During the 1955 flood in Yuba City, California, this particular HO4S rescued 138 people in twelve hours. Photo date and location unknown to me. This airframe served in the US Coast Guard from 1953 until 1967, although it should have been marked as an HH-19G after 1962. It is marked as an HO4S-3, without its G suffix for the USCG model. To civil as N17378.

During the 1955 flood in Yuba City, California, this particular HO4S rescued 138 people in twelve hours. Photo date and location unknown to me. This airframe served in the US Coast Guard from 1953 until 1967, although it should have been marked as an HH-19G after 1962. It is marked as an HO4S-3, without its G suffix for the USCG model. To civil as N17378.

Loomis Dean apparently took this snapshot while he was at Edwards to photograph a Douglas X-3 Stiletto flight, which must have been between August 1954 and May 1956. The helo was delivered earlier in 1954. It was still with AFFTC in 1959 but its fate is unknown. Photo by: Loomis Dean / Life

The first prototype of the S-55, first flown on 10 November 1949. The S-55 was the first successful single-rotor helicopter capable of transporting significant loads. The key was to put the big piston engine in the nose, and the changeable payload and fuel in the centre of gravity. Initially 49-2012 had a half horizontal tailplane with endplate on this side instead of the two canted fins seen here. Print stamped June 1952.

Mishap in the Malayan jungle. Serial WV195 readable, code G of No 848 Sqn confirmed. Ex BuNo 130188, supplied to Britain as early as November 1952 to fight communist rebels in Malaysia. Repaired after this accident. Sent back to Britain in 1957, but retired in 1958 and burnt in 1963 for an instructional filming. Photo by: Harrison Forman / University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

To our surprise the black S-55 in this nice photo is an early YH-19, one of two tested in Korea. Perhaps the helo is seen in its last hours, since Joe Baugher's website reports: 'With 3rd ARS, crash landed in mudflats near Inchon, South Korea May 2, 1952 after engine failed while returning from evacuation mission. All 3 crew survived and were rescued.' The helicopter did not survive. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

Igor Sikorsky arrived from his Bridgeport, Connecticut factory in style for a luncheon. Sikorsky chief test pilot Jimmie Viler flew a display. The landing spot is now occupied by the Museum of Science's parking garage. N410A was apparently used as a demonstrator and was delivered to the Argentine navy in 1959.
