The Bell 47 was introduced in 1946, derived from the third Bell 30 prototype which was designed by the exceptional Arthur M. Young. There were several variants created initially, each varying in apperance and construction, some with open cockpits or sheet metal cabins, fabric covered or open structures, even a four-wheel landing gear option available. The breakthrough in the Bell 47’s history was in 1953, with the introduction of the 47G, which became infamous due to its distinctive “soap-bubble” cabin and exposed tail. The Bell 47 also gained popularity as a result of the television station KTLA of Los Angeles purchasing a helicpoter for news reporting purposes. The “Telecopter” was equipped with a television camera, making its first flight in 1958, with inventor John D. Silva on board.
