Half man, half helicopter. This 'strap-on helicopter' was powered by rocket motors mounted at the rotor tips. The tail rotor was for steering. Tested by the US Navy against the Hiller ROE and Gyrodyne RON but RH-1 does not seem to be a naval designation and nor is a serial known. Photo by: Ralph Crane / Life

It's a bear! From a photo series entitled 'Helicopter Mapping of Alaska.' Helicopters made the mapping of Alaska a lot easier, dropping surveyors off on the peaks. US Army H-32Bs were involved, although details about this are hard to find. Photo by: George Silk / Life

This must be the yellow prototype of the Hiller 360 / UH-12 / H-23 Raven, first flown on 11 November 1947 and sometimes referred to as the 360X. Helicopters were expected to sell like cars, but the smart enclosed body was soon thrown overboard to save weight. Photo by: Charles Steinheimer / Life

This must be the yellow prototype of the Hiller 360 / UH-12 / H-23 Raven, first flown on 11 November 1947 and sometimes referred to as the 360X. Helicopters were expected to sell like cars, but the smart enclosed body was soon thrown overboard to save weight. Photo by: Charles Steinheimer / Life

Photo assumed taken by Charles E Brown during an air-to-air shoot from Ringway on 2 November 1942. P9659 had first flown two days earlier and was delivered to No 827 Sqn at Stretton in January 1943, the first unit to receive the Barracuda. The type struggled with overweight and only 27 Mk.Is were built. Fitted with more powerful engines, the Barracuda was eventually produced in large numbers, but never liked much in service.

The Stinson Model U was a slightly enlarged 1932 development of the SM-6000, with the side engines mounted on stub wings. American Airlines was the main operator. The last airframe off the line in June 1933, NC12196 served as an executive transport for San Francisco Examiner executives, including the newspaper's famous owner William Randolph Hearst. It is seen here against the backdrop of Mt Shasta near Dunsmuir. One of Hearst's estates was nearby at Wyntoon. NC12196 to Aerovías Nacionales of Costa Rica in 1938 as TI-34.

Under the US military aid programme the Netherlands received thirty-five H-23B helicopters between June 1955 and late 1958. They wore permanent 8A codes, indicating 298 Sqn, although they were also used by other squadrons. Used as a trainer by the US Army, the H-23B had marginal engine power and could barely lift three persons including the pilot. This one is seen flying near Arnhem.

The US Army got a limited number of four-seat (O)H-23F Ravens, equivalent to the civilian UH-12E-4, apparently from 1962. There were four with fiscal year 1959 serials, 17 with 1961 serials, of which 61-3218 was changed to an OH-23G, and six with 1962 serials. Powered by a 305-hp engine they were intended for hot and high environments according to Hiller. The OH-23G went back to three seats. Hiller seems to have ignored the quirky tail number system in which the decade digit of the serial should be left out. Photo from: Hiller
