Default Re: US OOB 12 corrections/suggestions (v.6)

Request addition of Sikorsky R-5 (aka H-5, S-51, HO2S-1, HO3S-1) to the US OOB.

According to THE AGE OF THE HELICOPTER: VERTICAL FLIGHT; on V-J Day, 65 R-5s had been delivered to the US military, and the remainder of the contract (390 craft) was cancelled.

Possible photo of WWII era R-5 here:
