First civilian helicopters
When did helicopters become widely used in civilian applications like air medical, logging, construction and charter?.
What I'm looking for is a history of the civilian helicopter industry. Since our industry is niche there isn't much information.
Thanks, Chris Pochari

Have a read of the Alan Bristow biography: https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Alan...ardback/p/2085
There's lots in there about the early civvie helicopter industry. Whaling and crop spraying particularly.

Straight from Wiki.
The Bell 47 is a single rotor single engine light helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. Based on the third Bell 30 prototype, the company's first helicopter designed by Arthur M. Young, the 47 became the first helicopter certified for civilian use on 8 March 1946.

Not exactly about the first civilian helicopters operations, but you'll find a lot of interesting information about the helicopter development and the begining of the industry.
