UH-1 Twin Huey
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, commonly (or officially in the USMC) known as the "Huey", is a multi-purpose helicopter, famous for its use in the Vietnam War.
The Twin Huey is a development of the original UH-1 Huey, Model 205, but with two engines instead of only one. Model 212 retained the two-bladed rotor system and the Model 412 uses a four-bladed Rotor.
