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.
