Unidentified Airplane #1
This is a snapshot from Dad's WW II album.
He had no idea of what this plane might have been (my best guess is a Norseman). He took the picture somewhere along the AlCan Highway, 1942-1945. --Bill Thompson |

Stinson O-1 Vigilant. Thank you. Now that I have the machine's genus and species, I have some information on it--a modification of a civil aircraft, suited for take-offs and landings at short strips. The type served just about everywhere in the war; some were even armed, and flew cloak-and-dagger missions behind Japanese lines. --Bill Thompson |

Actually, Stinson Model 74 O-49/L-1 Vigilant, best know by the later L-1 designation. Randy |
