Stinson Voyager

The Stinson Voyager was a light utility monoplane built by the Stinson Aircraft Company in the late 1930s and early 1940s. It began as the Stinson HW-75, marketed from 1939 as the Model 105, a high-wing three-seat braced monoplane with a 75 or 80 horsepower Continental engine, and was developed into the Model 10 of 1940 with wider seats and a better interior. The Model 10A of 1941 used a 90 horsepower Franklin engine and was the first to carry the Voyager name, which the postwar Stinson 108 kept. Six Model 10s were evaluated by the United States Army Air Forces as the YO-54 but judged unsuitable for artillery observation, and the Army later bought twelve Model 10A Voyagers as the L-9B. Stinson then designed an all-new aircraft, the Model 76, which became the L-5 Sentinel.
