This rescue helicopter is listed as written off after an accident at Walker AFB, New Mexico on 27 May 1950, but it must have been repaired, because this photo is from the Korean War as other pictures of H-5Gs, undergoing open-air maintenance in the background, show more conclusively. Note tail rotor, still made of wood! Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland
