Cessna L-19 Dog Bird model airplane, 749 mm wingspan, 1:15, Clark-Y, Tony Ray
The Cessna L-19 “Bird Dog” was developed in the late 1940s as a light liaison and observation aircraft for the US Army.
Based on the civilian Cessna 170, it received special modifications such as large windows and improved visibility for observation tasks.
During the Korean War and later in the Vietnam War, it proved particularly useful for artillery observation and target marking.
Its robust construction, short take-off and landing distances and good flight characteristics made it a reliable work tool.
Many examples are still airworthy today and are exhibited by private owners or in museums as historically significant machines.
