| Stan Stein Philadelphia, PA | I'm anxious to build an RC model of the L-16. About the color scheme, were they all painted with aluminum scheme, or were some also O.D. with neutral gray undersurfaces?

| Tom Castle , MI | I have been studying the L16A and am curious what Army Air Corps units actually flew this aircraft. Were any assigned to the 1st Cav? 04/18/2008 @ 10:16 [ref: 20607] |
