Lisätietoja:

The Sikorsky H-5 was a helicopter developed by the American company Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in the early 1940s. It was also known as the R-5, S-51, HO3S-1, or Horse, depending on the variant and the operator. It was used by the US Army Air Forces, the US Air Force, the US Navy, the US Coast Guard, and other countries for various roles, such as rescue, transport, observation, and liaison. The H-5 had a three-blade main rotor, a single radial engine, and a tandem cockpit for two crew members. It had a maximum speed of 145 km/h and a range of 451 km. It was the first helicopter to operate commercially and the first to perform a hoist rescue. It was also produced under license in the UK as the Westland WS-51 Dragonfly.
