Well live and learn.
Disbelievingly, I Googled images for "Early Huey" and they did some strange things back then, for sure.
But for really Goofy, search "Sikorsky S-59"!

Add some "D" model Iroquois "Slicks" and you can really start cooking.
There is an excellent book "Chickenhawk" by Robert Mason. Well worth reading.
