The Army Air Corps purchased six Stinson Voyagers from Vultee in 1941 for testing. The aircraft were adapted for purpose to become fundamentally a new design. The Army designated it first as the O-62 (observation) and then as the L-5 (liaison). This aircraft, on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center, was the first O-62/L-5 produced but, unfortunately, nothing is known of it's service life. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
