Showing a considerable advancement from its earlier designs, Sikorsky's H-5 helicopter gained its greatest fame during the Korean War when it was called upon repeatedly to rescue pilots shot down behind enemy lines and to evacuate wounded personnel from frontline areas. More than 300 were built, with this one being ferried form Elgin AFB, FL to Patterson Field for the USAFM in March 1955
