The Marines in that era utilized UH34 Choctaws, gas piston engined helicopters. What were shown in the film were Westland Wessex turbine powered models made under contract from Sikorsky USA in the UK. Since Kubrik filmed entirely in England these were the best he could he do, but he knew the Marines always got the leftovers, so no Huey's UH-1s for a few years.
