GRUMMAN OV-1 MOHAWK

$9.95

Title: Grumman OV-1 Mohawk

The OV-1 was originally designed to a joint Army/Marines specification for an observation/attack aircraft to replace the L-19 Birddog. The Marines withdrew and the aircraft became a wholly Army aircraft but was subjected to political influence and compromise throughout its life. It first flew in 1959 and around 380 were eventually built. It was retired from US Army service when its reconnaissance role was taken over by satellites and more capable aircraft.

We offer two titles for the OV-1 which include two flight manuals (titled Operator’s Manuals) for all US Army variants of the Mohawk, plus the parts catalog and several manufacturer’s publicity brochures. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages.
