In Italy, Augusta built a similar version of the Bell UH-1F helicopter under license for the Italian Military. These new helicopters were named AB-204B and were purchased by 6 other countries including Austria. Although capable of carrying a large assortment of armament the Austrian versions were mainly used as medium-sized utility helicopter and medivacs. The Austrian AB-204B registration number 4D-BT was construction number 3192 and was in service from December 1, 1967 until June 26, 2003. Since 1963 Austria has owned 26 AB-204Bs. Designed to meet a US Army requirement for a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) and general utility helicopter, the UH-1 Huey was first flown on October 20, 1956. Nicknamed "Huey" because of its original "HU-1" designation, this aircraft became famous during the Vietnam War, where 7,000 of them served in a variety of roles, from MEDEVAC and search and rescue to troop transport, air assault and ground attack. As a troop transporter, the Huey revolutionized warfare, giving the Army the ability to strategically position troops in various locations that were otherwise difficult to reach in the heavy jungle environment. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
