Bell UH-1E Iroquois
in
US Marine Corps

In 1962, the marines choose the UH-1B Huey to replace their Kaman OH-43D Huskies. Designated UH-1E, the main differences with the Army variant included the use of all-aluminum construction for corrosion resistance, the use of marines compatible avionics, a rotor brake to rapidly stop the rotor on shipboard use and a roof mounted rescue hoist.

The basically similar TH-1E was the trainer variant and 20 were delivered in 1965.

After the arrival of UH-1N during the 1970s, survivors were handed over to the Navy mainly to HT-8 and HT-18 training squadrons.

There is some confusion regarding UH-1E numbers. 151299 c/n 6034 is not a UH-1E according to Bell, so the following numbers would be shifted by one
