Fotogalleri av en Sikorsky H-34 (S-58), The Sikorsky H-34 (company designation S-58) is a piston-engined military helicopter originally designed by American aircraft manufacturer Sikorsky as an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft for the United States Navy. It has seen extended use when adapted to turbine power by the British licensee as the Westland Wessex and Sikorsky as the later S-58T. H-34s served, mostly as medium transports, on every continent with the armed forces of twenty-five countries. It saw combat in Algeria, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and throughout Southeast Asia; other uses included saving flood victims, recovering astronauts, fighting fires, and carrying presidents. It was one of the last piston-powered helicopter designs before its replacement by turbine-powered types such as the UH-1 Huey and CH-46 Sea Knight. A total of 2,108 H-34s were manufactured between 1953 and 1970

The Sikorsky H-34 (S-58) was a piston-engined military helicopter that served with various branches of the United States armed forces, as well as other countries. It was designed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft for the United States Navy, and first flew in 1954. The H-34 had a distinctive nose-mounted radial engine, a tail-dragger landing gear, and a spacious cargo compartment that could accommodate up to 16 troops or eight stretchers.
H-34 anpassades också till turbindrift av den brittiska licenstagaren Westland Aircraft, som tillverkade Westland Wessex, och av Sikorsky själv, som utvecklade S-58T. H-34 användes för olika roller, bland annat nyttotransport, sök- och räddningsinsatser, VIP-transporter och stridsoperationer. Det var aktioner i bland annat Algeriet, Dominikanska republiken, Nicaragua och Sydostasien. Det var den sista kolvmotoriserade helikoptern som användes av USA:s marinkår och ersattes av turbindrivna typer som UH-1 Huey och CH-46 Sea Knight. Totalt tillverkades 2 108 H-34 mellan 1953 och 1970.
