Description
The Grumman OV-1 Mohawk was the first turboprop aircraft to enter
into US Army service to fill the role of visual, photo and
electronic reconnaissance. It was very unique in its design, and
it never received the recognition for its accomplishments in over
40 years of service. Originally planned for both the Army and
the Marines, the OV-1was used just by the Army, though NASA had a
test aircraft for testing jet engine noise. Civilian users
included the US Forest Service, the Environmental Protection
Service and US Customs, which used the Mohawk to track drug
traffic. The OV-1D aircraft from the 15th MI (military
intelligence) and the 224th MI groups participated during Desert
Storm, accruing over 5,500 flight hours with 2 planes lost. The
Mohawk was retired from U.S. Army service in 1996. More than 150
photographs, line drawings, and 12 color profiles; 80 pages.
