The Stinson Voyager was a 1940s American light utility monoplane built by the
Stinson Aircraft Company.
First developed as the Stinson Model 105 in 1939, it was a high-wing three-seat
braced monoplane powered by either a 75 hp Continental A-75 or an 80 hp
Continental A-80-6. This was developed into the Model 10 powered by a
Continental A-80 piston engine.[1] The Model 10 introduced a wider cabin as well
as an improved standard for the interior and finish. The Model 10 was followed
by the Model 10A, powered by a Franklin 4AC-99 engine and the Model 10B with a
Lycoming GO-145.
Six Model 10As were evaluated by the United States Army as the YO-54. The
successful testing led to an order for the slightly larger and heavier O-62,
later designated the L-5 Sentinel.
A number of Model 105s and Model 10As were impressed into Army service as the
AT-19 (later L-9).
After the Second World War the type was developed as the Model 108, the
prototypes being converted Model 10As.
