In 1951 the US Air Force ordered a number of H-19A helicopters that were configured to carry ten passengers and crew. The ship is distinguishable by the blunt-edged fuselage and horizontal stabilizer on the starboard side of the aircraft. Production continued with the H-19B, H-19C, and UH-19C and UH-19D, the latter two models nicknamed the "Chickasaw."
