Huey

Dewey and Louie's brother

Huey is a nickname for the Bell UH-1 helicopter, the iconic military aircraft of the Vietnam War era.

The name comes from its original designation HU-1 (Helicopter Utility).

Hueys became symbols of that conflict, appearing in countless films and photographs ferrying troops and wounded soldiers: We heard the Hueys coming in over the treeline.
