Stinson L-5 Sentinel examples I photographed at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center, NMoUSAF, Yanks/Chino and March AFB. The Sentinel 42-14798 was the first production L-5 built and was donated to the Smithsonian on 5 June 1960. The L-5 was affectionately known as the “Flying Jeep”

It is of interest that this Stinson (the very first L-5 produced) still has the Brodie hook system attached, which allows the plane to approach a like-equipped ship and hook on without needing a landing strip. I can’t find the short video clip from the Smithsonian that explains this system in less than two minutes, but here is an interesting video that includes an explanation.
