The Cessna O-1 Bird Dog was a military utility airplane manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company.

Summary

“ The Cessna L-19/O-1 Bird Dog is a high-wing, two-place, piston-driven aircraft that was used for the military role of liaison missions, which include unarmed target observation flights and light transport.

Cessna built the Bird Dog, based on the company's trusted 170 model, for the U.S. Army primarily to search for, identify, and provide location information on enemy targets for strikes by artillery, mortar, and other weapon systems. Aptly named, the aircraft allowed pilots and observers to hunt targets as bird dogs track prey, loitering in the area once an attack had begun then radioing information about how to augment the strike. The L-19/O-1, which took its first flight in December of 1949, saw action in a number of wars over the years, in service of nearly two dozen countries — for liaison missions, as well as transporting single passengers and small loads of cargo.

The aircraft features all-metal construction, a tandem cockpit, and a tailwheel-type landing gear. Powered by a Continental six-cylinder engine that delivers 213 horsepower, the stock model offers a cruise speed of 104 miles per hour, a top speed of 115, and a climb rate of 1,150 feet per minute. Built for low, slow missions and able to operate out of austere airports, the Cessna L-19/O-1 provides a classic aviation experience; pilots can skim the trees, rumble into the clouds, and carve steep turns, all with great visibility thanks to its wraparound canopy — a key feature for any dog on the hunt. 		”
