Stinson L-5E
Sentinel

The Stinson L-5E is a small high-wing utility aircraft, capable of short unimproved airstrip operations. It was the second most common light observation aircraft of World War II, after the Piper L-4 Cub. Capable of taking off in as little as 50 feet when using full flaps, they could operate out of almost any small field.
