A propeller plane parked on the tarmac, the Piper L-4 "Grasshopper." This airplane, used by the Army Ground Forces for artillery spotting, liaison work, and transporting of personnel, is manufactured by the Piper Aircraft Corporation, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. Its short landing and take-off characteristics permit its use on small, unprepared fields or roads. This is an example of planes viewed by President Truman during his visit to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in October 4, 1949, to review airborne maneuvers as well as to review 20,000 troops and inspect new artillery weapons.
