Bob Hudson Posted July 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2020 Picked this up at garage sale yesterday. It's made by Aeroquip, which makes aicraft parts. They label it FORWARD UH-1 STRAP. I have found Army documents about the medical litters than can be attached to a Huey and it references "forward litter straps" Anyone chock full of trivia about UH-1's?

Bob Hudson Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted July 26, 2020 I found an Army manual showing litter attachments procedures for the UH-1(I added the red arrows showing straps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted August 1, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 1, 2020 Those litter straps usually have like a hook on them you can sort of see on that diagram to help support the litter pole. I never saw a Huey one for sale yet but I came across these once on ebay apparently for the H-34. These have that same hook Ive seen on Huey ones. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vietnam-War-U-S-Army-USMC-H-34-Choctaw-Helicopter-Stretcher-Strap-Holder-Set/223200194192?hash=item33f7c4ae90:g:d2AAAOSwcnxbzotA The ones you have still could have something to do with those applications just not actually holding the pole. There must be a few others on here that could shed more light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted August 1, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 1, 2020 Found this as well showing those brackets that i called a hook. Both the type that are part of a strap and the type that are aircraft side. http://www.davisaircraftproducts.com/products/cargo-restraint-systems/cargo-restraint-components/litter-brackets.html Also another huey diagram that you can see those brackets on the straps.
