Boeing Vertol YCH-1B Chinook Towing Tests, 1961

In 1960, Boeing bought Vertol, a helicopter manufacturer in Philadelphia, Pa. The company had three tandem-rotor helicopters under production: the Chinook for the Army, the Sea Knight for the Navy and the Marines, and the commercial 107-II for the airlines.

The first version of the CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor military helicopter could lift more than seven tons. At peak production in 1967, the Boeing Vertol Philadelphia plant produced a new Chinook every 24 hours.
