The Aeronca TG-5 was a three-seat training glider that Aeronca developed in 1942 for the United States Army, based on the powered O-58 observation and liaison aircraft that was later redesignated the L-3. It kept the rear fuselage, wings and tail of the O-58 and added a new front fuselage in place of the engine, giving the Army a glider trainer built from a proven light aircraft airframe. Aeronca built 250 of them for the Army, according to its lead sources, and the Navy received three under the designation LNR-1. The type belongs to the wartime branch of the Aeronca Chief family and sits beside the L-3, which supplied its airframe design.
