It used to be the CH-34 Choctaw (known as the sea horse in the Navy/Marines). By '65 it had been replaced by the UH-1 Iroquois (aka Huey). UH stands for Utility Helicopter; CH stands for Cargo Helicopter.

The world's FIRST (designed and built) attack helicopter was the AH-1 Cobra, deployed and combat tested in South Vietnam in '66. Both the Cobra and the Iroquois were built by the same company and both birds used the same engine.
