-The JGSDF quickly realized the potential of combat maneuvers between helicopters and ground forces, to be able to supply, and provide fire support quickly and effectively while also transporting infantry into battle. In 1959 the Bell UH-1 entered service with the US Army, this vehicle proved to fit the needs of a true medium sized general purpose helicopter to replace their aging H-19C's. Fuji would soon be able to obtain the license to the UH-1B originally receiving the designation HU-1B. With manufacturing in Japan approved, the production of the UH-1B started immediately. Officially in JGSDF receiving the formal name of "Hiyodori" or Bulbul in English, after a type of medium sized songbird. Production commenced in 1962 and ran until 1972 for a total of 90 UH-1B's produced. The Fuji UH-1B was a exact copy of the Bell UH-1B and was powered by the licensed produced Kawasaki T53-K-5 producing 960 SHP. As weapon trials of the H-13H began with various armament, it was realized a larger more powerful helicopter was needed for a more practical air support role. By 1967 plans were underway to fit the UH-1B with 70mm unguided rockets, and in 1978 UH-1B's were spotted at the "Total thermal power" exercise in Japan carrying rocket pods. The UH-1B would later be complemented by the much improved UH-1H, and later replaced by the UH-1J. However neither the UH-1H or UH-1J have been armed or have planned to be armed with offensive weapon capabilities. The UH-1B would officially be retired in 1992, marking a quarter of a century's worth of service.
