L-5 Sentinel / Model 105
Stinson Voyager и Sentinel
В 1939 году "Stinson" вышла на рынок легких самолетов и представила новую разработку - Model 105, напоминавший уменьшенный Junior и представлявший собой трехместный подкосный высокоплан с двигателем Continental A75-3 в 75 л.с. или A80-6 в 80 л.с. Данные модели строились примерно поровну, всего построено около 530 экземпляров. В 1941 году компания представила усовершенствованный Model 10 Voyager, отличавшийся интерьером и оборудованием. Базовым вариантом стал Model 10-A, оснащенный двигателем Franklin 4AC-199-E3 мощностью 90 л.с. и строившийся до 1942 года в количестве 750 машин. Несколько самолетов также строились с двигателем Lycoming GO-145-E3 мощностью 75 л.с. (обозначение Model 10-B). Шесть самолетов Model 10-A, оснащенных двигателями Continental O-170-1 мощностью 80 л. с., в 1941 году были приобретены для авиации Армии США для оценочных испытаний и получили обозначение YO-54. Испытания были успешными, и Армия США заказала еще 275 самолетов (обозначение O-62), которые были немного больше и тяжелее и оснащались двигателями Lycoming O-435-1.

Flight 1939-04 / Flight
The new Stinson “105” and a close-up of the exceptionally neat pressure-type engine cowling for the 75 h.p. Continental. In general appearance the "105" may be described as a cross between the well-known Reliant and the typical American lightweight of to-day. The machine has a cruising speed of 105 m.p.h.

Aviation Historian 38 / N.Stroud - Goodyear's Terra campaign
Stinson 108-2 Voyager N9270K (c/n 108-2270) was owned by Goodyear and fitted with the Terra-Tire undercarriage unit for trials around the Akron area in the summer of 1956. It is seen here making light work of a rough field with the barrel-like tyres installed

Aviation Historian 38 / N.Stroud - Goodyear's Terra campaign
The Voyager demonstrates its ability to deal with uneven surfaces on an obstacle course made of wooden blocks and planks during trials at Akron Fulton Airport (now Akron Executive Airport), which was opened in 1929 as the Goodyear Airdock, where the company’s airships were built, and which also served as the Navy’s NAS Akron.

Aviation Historian 38 / N.Stroud - Goodyear's Terra campaign
The Stinson 108-2 was powered by a 165 h.p. Franklin six-cylinder horizontally opposed air-cooled engine and was typical of the sort of lightplane to which the Terra-Tire was intended to be fitted. Little more is known about the fate of N9270K after its tenure with Goodyear, other than that the registration was cancelled in 1989.

Aviation Historian 38 / N.Stroud - Goodyear's Terra campaign
The Stinson uses the 24in (61cm)-wide footprint of its Terra-Tires to roll across a field full of puddles and ditches with ease during trials. A large variant of the tyre was developed for use on the MM-1 Teracruzer missile-carrying vehicle built by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company to transport the USAF’s Martin MGM-13 missiles.
