A year later, on 14 October 1948 the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) issued a production certificate for the Model 360.

The UH-12A would be adopted by both the French and United States militaries, as well as being used by civil commercial operators in several countries.

Beginning with the UH-23C, all later models featured the "Goldfish bowl" canopy similar to the Bell 47.

The paddles were attached to the control column, so that movement of the column would cause the pitch of the servo paddles to change, loading the main rotor blade so that the desired cyclic changes to the rotor occurred.

Most OH-23Ds were replaced by the OH-23G, the most common version of the Raven, with a more powerful Lycoming O-540-9A six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled 305 hp (227 kW) engine.

A Raven piloted by Hugh Thompson, Jr. played a crucial role in curtailing the My Lai Massacre.
