The L-19 was developed as a light liaison and observation aircraft for the US Army in 1949. Heavily used for communication, medevac and training the Bird Dog was renamed the O-1 during the Vietnam era. In 1964 the Army had handed over these aircraft to the US Air Force.
Our Premier Collection Cessna L-19 Bird Dog is a set of three models created by one of our long-time designers Massimo Taccoli. We hope you enjoy flying one of the military's classic aircraft.
