The SH-34, developed by Sikorsky in the first half of the 1950s, was used by a significant number of countries, which recognized the helicopter's excellent potential, and has participated in various conflicts during its operational career from Algeria to Vietnam. It was also the last large-scale helicopter equipped with a piston engine before the introduction of the turbine. It was widely used for a large number of activities by the USArmy and the US Marine Corps. However, its main role has always been that of medium transport helicopter characterized by high reliability and robustness. Furthermore, MedEvac was widely used for the "search and rescue" operation and, in the naval versions, Antisom patrol.
