Boeing Vertol H-21C Helicopter

The H-21 served with the U.S. Army from 1953 and was the world's first large transport helicopter. Equipped with a tandem engine producing 1445 Hp, the banana ( so called because of its shape ) was capable of transporting 12 injured or 14 soldiers. The Luftwaffe ( 1st Air Rescue and Liason in Fursteinfeldbruck ) received the first 5 H-21Cs of the German Federal Armed Forces in 1957. However, the bulk of the 32 aircraft ordered went to the army air corps, where they saw service until the beginning of the seventies.
