Liaison aircraft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A liaison aircraft is a small unarmed aircraft developed during World War II and primarily used by military forces for artillery observation or transporting commanders and messengers. The aircraft were also used for battlefield reconnaissance, air ambulance, column control, light cargo delivery and similar duties. Able to operate from small, unimproved fields under primitive conditions, most liaison aircraft were developed from, or were later used as general aviation light planes. Today, the helicopter performs the duties formerly accomplished by liaison aircraft.
