Of primary importance to the ground forces is the ability of this type aircraft to operate from relatively small, unprepared fields or roads. Minimum maintenance requirements are an outstanding feature of liaison aircraft. Two models of liaison aircraft were widely used in the European Theater. These were the L-4 type, used generally as the organic field artillery aircraft, and the higher powered L-5 type, with which the Army Air Forces liaison squadrons were equipped. Although obsolete, a small number of L-I aircraft also were used on occasion. From a Report (G-3 Study No 20) compiled in 1945 by The General Board, United States Forces, European Theater.
