Korean War picture. Earlier that month, UP-27 was photographed on the ground behind enemy lines in Yangyang County, taking out survivors of the ran-aground Thai corvette Prasae. The helicopter was lost on another rescue mission near Kosong on 3 July 1951. The pilot was killed and another crew member taken prisoner. Photo from: US Navy

The Evergreen museum claims that this is the fifth S-51 built and this appears to be correct, meaning that it was one of the first commercially operated helicopters in 1946 as NC92803 - see other picture. After bankruptcy of the pioneering HAT company it was sold to the USCG as 233, later 1233.

Experimental air mail delivery in Brooklyn. We found the location doing a reverse image search for the church. HAT was the first commercial helicopter operator. The S-51 appears to be NC92803, delivered to the company from Camden, New Jersey in September 1946. HAT filed for bankruptcy in October 1947. NC92803 went to the US Coast Guard as an HO3S, 233. Now preserved in the Evergreen museum, Oregon. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

This Dragonfly (to me) was TOC in 1946 as '235' and was based at USCG Air Station Salem, MA. In 1951 it was dispatched to rescue an USAF airman that had parachuted into the Atlantic. At that time '235' was equipped with floats and so the pilot landed on the ocean, dived into the water and rescued the unconscious USAF pilot. Later in 1951 the serial was changed to '1235' and it flew on with the USCG until 1961. It then flew for the next 20 years on the civil register as N4927E before arriving at the National Naval Aviation Museum in 1983 for display.

The first helicopter in the Netherlands on its first flight in the country, piloted by Hein Bulten, a former fighter pilot. The 'lifting airscrew aircraft' was used for trials including mail and cropdusting flights. It was purchased by the navy as 8-1 (H-1) in 1951 and served until 1959.
