Another of the great versatile aircraft of World War
II is the fabric covered L-5 Sentinel. This unarmed aircraft was often
used for observation, spotting and transporting personnel. It's slow
landing speed made it capable of literally landing and taking off
from almost anywhere. For that reason, it was one of the very popular
aircraft and saw many additional roles, such as air ambulance and
search and rescue.
