Whole story I could write about this plane. My did was shot down during WW2 and a L-4 pilot couldn't land to get him. So he got low and as he flew over my father gave him directions to friendly French resistance folks that hid him until we could travel. It was a swamp somewhere near St Lo Fance. very cool shot
