	Stinson L-5 Sentinel Tony Weddel. This particular scene shows a typical mission for an L-5 of the 25th Liaison Squadron, better known as the "Guinea Short Lines." An A-20 bomber has been shot down during an attack on a Japanese base. Having been discovered by a prowling Sentinel, the downed aviators hacked down enough of the tall Kunai grass to form a makeshift runway. The L-5 put down, and took aboard two of the bomber crewmen despite a 400-pound gross load limit. The L-5 pilot somehow managed to get airborne and threaded his way through the jungle, gaining altitude at every opportunity. Another miraculous rescue, but just a day's work for the men of the "Guinea Short Lines." 23"x 19" print. #0008505 Price: $19.95 Add this product to your shopping cart
