A licence agreement was signed in January 1952 by Sud-Est (SNCASE) to build S-55 helicopters in France. This airframe was delivered to Sud-Est in March 1953 and is seen wearing the company logo. The S-55 was not actually built in France. This example was sold in October 1953 to the Ministère des États Associés, reponsible for French Indochina, but sent to GH 1 at Buc for pilot training as 383 / SL, call sign F-SEBL, army inventory number 8.000.008. To the navy in 1957, to the air force in 1959 and back to the army in 1963, for the ALAT flying school in Dax. Withdrawn in 1972. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

A nice photo of another French S-55 in Indochina, this time landing at the Lanessan Hospital in Hanoi with released prisoners of war. The helicopter is listed as lost only nine days later, on 24 July 1954 at Dien Bien Phu, although the fighting there was over. The hospital is now Vietnam's Central Military Hospital 108.

Photo taken during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu at Strongpoint Isabelle, 'a dismal patch of marshes and swamp' 6 km to the south of the town, where there was an auxiliary airstrip. Killed soldiers are visible in the uncropped picture. Supplies appear to be parachuted in in the background. The helicopter is ex USAF 52-7595, which was shipped to Vietnam in January 1954. It is listed as lost at Dien Bien Phu on 23 March, one week after this photo was taken by either Jean Péraud or Daniel Camus. Photo from: ECPAD

En route to Hanoi after the fall of Dien Bien Phu. The French used some twenty-five S-55 helicopters in Indochina from September 1953 - both H-19B and HRS models. This should be BuNo 130232, ex US Marines - code VK is from call sign F-SDVK. Returned to the Americans in 1958, curiously receiving a newly created fiscal year 1952 USAF serial, 52-10991.
