A great new book on the seldom-told story of WWII liaison aircraft, known affectionately as "L-Birds" to military personnel. Along with an historical background explaining the multiple roles of these aircraft, you also get complete specifications for the most significant models including the Stinson L-1 and L-5, the Taylorcraft L-2 Grasshopper, the Aeronca L-3, the Piper L-4 and more... all the way up to the L-12. Carrier operations and unit histories are also included. 145 B&W photos, 10 color profiles and more.

Nice photos, disappointing text., Nov 9 2005
By J. Gray - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: L-Birds: American Combat Liaison Aircraft of World War II (Paperback)
This book has LOTS of nice photos, so if you're interested in this subject it is worth adding to your collection. However, in many places the text is poorly written and edited (even some of the photos are misidentified), and some of the information presented is poorly researched - not what you might expect from a person with a Masters degree and numerous literary credits to his name. The typo's, occasional shabby grammar, and other inconsistencies are most annoying, so reading it is something like trying to listen to the radio through moderate static. It's not all bad, but this reviewer recommends that you buy it for the photos, not its less-than-impeccable accuracy or other literary "graces".

Cool book, May 24 2006
By Airdruid - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: L-Birds: American Combat Liaison Aircraft of World War II (Paperback)
If you are interested in having a "reference" book on all the L birds, this is it. Lots of pictures, information and anecdotes. I'd buy it again without hesitation.
Listmania!
