The H-21 Shawnee is known for its nickname “flying banana,” which derives from the distinctive upward slope of the rear fuselage.
The hull, designed in this original way, was developed to allow the use of the two powerful tandem rotors and the oversized propellers. Thanks to the two rotors and the strong aerodynamic structure, the H-21 became a real and reliable “workhorse”, capable of successfully carrying out the most demanding transport tasks of any kind.
It has been widely used by the US Army since the first half of the 1950s and has also been used in Vietnam since 1961 to transport troops and tactical supplies.
To increase defensive capability, the H-21 was often equipped with mobile weapons on the side doors.
It was gradually replaced by the more modern UH-1 and CH-47.
