About
The Bell 47 is one of the most recognizable helicopters in history. Designed by Arthur Young at Bell Aircraft, the Model 47 first flew on December 8, 1945, and was the first helicopter to receive a Type Certificate from the Civil Aeronautics Administration in 1946. The 'goldfish bowl' canopy and exposed-tube tail boom made the Bell 47 famous through the MASH* film and television series, where it served as the casualty-evacuation helicopter for the fictional 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.
