BOEING-WICHITA YL-15-BW SCOUT
U.S. Army Boeing-Wichita (Model 451) YL-15-BW Scout liaison aircraft, msn 20012, U.S. Army serial number 47-432. This two-seat aircraft featured maximum visibility for the observer and good flight control at low speed. It could also be disassembled and transported by truck. One prototype was built and ten prototypes but after tests, the Army rejected the design and transferred the ten YL-15s to the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of the Interior which operated them with civil registrations. An order for 47 L-15-BWs was cancelled.
