Hiller OH23 Raven

The Hiller OH-23 Raven is a historical light observation helicopter that gained prominence during the mid-20th century. Designed and produced by the American company Hiller Aircraft Corporation, the OH-23 Raven served various military roles, such as observation, liaison, and reconnaissance, primarily during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. It is characterized by its compact size and distinctive "soap bubble" canopy, which offered unobstructed visibility for the crew. The OH-23 played a crucial role in aerial surveillance and communication, often operating in challenging conditions. While retired from active military service, the OH-23 Raven is remembered for its contributions to battlefield intelligence and remains a significant part of helicopter history.
