Bell 47 H-1

 

 

Documentation sources

 

 

 

 

The Bell Aircraft history is well documented and there are several good books available.

 

For this project two books stand out for being particularly useful:

Bell Aircraft since 1935 by A J Pelletier published by Putnam; and

The Bell Helicopter Textron Story by D A Brown published by published by Aerofax.

 

 

 

The internet was an invaluable source of photographic documentation.

 

For this project the Bell 47 Web continued to prove to be useful with their photographic walkarounds. In particular, the following are of the H1 variant:

 

 

N2827B

N985B

N2831B

 

 

 

Museums are also an important source of documentation. This example is currently at the British Helicopter Museum and was the only Bell 47 H1 ever registered in Europe.
