The O-1 Bird Dog is a two-place
observation and liaison aircraft developed from the commercial Cessna
Model 170 in 1949, and selected as the winner of a 1950 competition for a
new two-seat liaison and observation monoplane. Originally designated as
L-19s, "Bird Dogs" were used by the USAF, Army, and Marines for
such tasks as artillery spotting, front-line communications, medical
evacuation, and pilot training. |
