| Description |
From the museum website: BY STINSON The L-5 was the military version of the commercial Stinson 105 Voyager. The US Army Air Forces (USAAF) purchased six Voyagers in 1941 as YO-54s for testing, and quantity orders for Sentinels began in 1942. Between 1942-1945, the USAAF ordered 3,590 L-5s, making it the second most widely used USAAF liaison aircraft. The unarmed L-5, with its short field takeoff and landing capability, was used for reconnaissance, front-line aeromedical evacuation, delivering supplies, laying communications wire, spotting enemy targets, personnel transport, rescue and even as a light bomber. In Asia and the Pacific, L-5s remained in service with the U.S. Air Force as late as 1955. Donated by Mr. Ken Adams of Cartersville, Georgia, the aircraft on display is painted as an L-5 that flew in N. Africa during World War II. SPECIFICATIONS: Span: 34 ft. Length: 24 ft. 1 in.
