Stinson L-13

The Stinson L-13 (sometimes known as the Grasshopper like other aircraft of its type) was a US military utility aircraft first flown in 1945. Developed when Stinson was a subsidiary of Consolidated Vultee rights to it were not included in the 1948 sale of Stinson to Piper. Mass production was therefore undertaken by Convair which built some 300 of them. It was a conventional high-wing tailwheel monoplane used for observation liaison and air ambulance duties.
