	Liaison aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A liaison aircraft is a small unarmed aircraft developed during World War Two and primarily used by military forces for artillery observation or transporting commanders and messengers.
		The aircraft were also used for battlefield reconnaissance, air ambulance, column control, light cargo delivery and similar duties.
		Able to operate from small, unimproved fields under primitive conditions, most liaison aircraft were developed from, or were later used as general aviation light planes.

	Piper L-4
		These liaison aircraft frequently had the ability to call down as much high explosive onto a target as carried by a heavy bomber - and with much greater accuracy.
		The L-4, the most numerous of the liaison aircraft, performed these duties superbly in all combat theaters, and carried its reputation into the post-war civil sector, where it became highly prized as a private plane.
		However, the German blitzkrieg campaigns in Europe demonstrated that such aircraft, which were slower and less maneuverable than fighters, were easy targets for enemy aircraft and ground troops and had the added disadvantage of requiring prepared airstrips.

	Utility / Liaison / Observation Aircraft
		Partly because Air Corps fire support aircraft were not always available, the chief of field artillery and other artillery officers became interested in using light aircraft organic to the artillery units.
		Following a final series of experiments with organic Army spotter aircraft conducted in 1942, the secretary of War ordered the establishment of organic air observation for field artillery- -hence the birth of modern Army Aviation--on 6 June 1942.
		A major general coined the name, basing it on the aircraft’s ability to hop from field to field — and to just about anywhere else — shuttling people and documents in its dual role as a liaison aircraft.

	Stinson Aircraft Corporation
		The would-be aircraft builders gave Stinson the mangled aircraft as payment and moved on to other ventures; for Stinson, it was the start of a lifelong vocation.
		The Stinson Reliant was a rugged aircraft built of fabric-covered welded steel-tubing structures with a single strut-braced double-tapered wing, and one of the last of the “taildraggers” (an airplane lacking a nose-wheel so it looked like its tail dragged when taxiing).
		Another popular Stinson aircraft was the Model 105 Voyager, a three-passenger airplane featuring a strut-braced wing mounted on the top of the fuselage and capable of flying at about 120 miles per hour (193 kilometers per hour).

		This versatile aircraft was not produced in significant numbers before the war ended.
		Reversal of the AAF policy on multiple missions and the acquisition of higher performance aircraft for organic aviation encouraged the AGF to attempt to expand the theoretical role of organic aviation.
		In early 1946, through disposition of aircraft by the Surplus Property Board and otherwise, the number of aircraft in the inventory of organic Army Aviation rapidly declined.

		The aircraft participated in the D-Day invasion and served in the European theater until the end of the war.
		Note: During the aircraft’s restoration to its original military configuration, a patched bullet hole was discovered on one of steel fuselage tubes testifying to the aircraft’s combat experience.

		Few aircraft were as important for the efficient conduct of war operations in Vietnam as the small, unarmed Cessna 0-1 B, previously known as the L-1 9.
		As with most of the other Liaison aircraft, when it was drafted into the military, one of the first things the military did was put as much glass in the airplane as possible.

	Lew Rodert, Epistemological Liaison, and Thermal De-Icing at Ames
		A paradox in aircraft icing research took the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) further into actual aircraft design than it had ever before ventured, To gather data on new de-icing equipment under natural icing conditions, and do so safely, NACA needed an aircraft already invulnerable to the dangers of icing.
		The Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnsborough was perfecting a Dunlop strip which leaked a steady stream of chemical along the wing during longer flights.
		This was Boelter's L/D ratio of unit thermal conductance, where L was the length of the heat transfer surface and D was the hydraulic diameter of the ventilating and exhaust pipes.
