L-19 Bird Dog Olive 1720mm (67.8') Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1043-002
The L-19 Bird Dog is a liaison and observation aircraft and was the first all-metal fixed-wing aircraft in the United States Army. The name was chosen because it's role was to find the enemy and orbit overhead until artillery or attack planes could be brought to bear. While flying low to the battlefield, the pilot would observe the attack and radio for adjustments, in the manner of a bird dog used by game hunters. The Bird Dog had a lengthy military career in the U.S. and other countries.
