Warpaint Special No 4 Cessna Bird Dog

Cessna's Bird Dog was designed and built to serve in what some might regard as the unglamorous field of Army Co-operation at a time when attention was more ofter focussed on a growing array of gleaming silver, nuclear-capable jet fighters and bombers deemed essential for a seemingly inevitable Thirld World War. Nonetheless the Bird Dog was flown sometimes by multiple services and by a wide range of nations on every contienent.
The Bird Dog served in numerous internal and cross-border conflicts and was from the 1950s inth the 1980s, and with the UH-1 Huey helicopter epitomised the role of teh United States air power in perations over South-East Asia during teh 1960's and into the 1970s.
