Базировавшиеся во Вьетнаме самолеты О-1 обычно выполняли полеты с парой маркерных ракет для целеуказания под крылом. Всю войну эти самолеты выполняли опасные задания по выявлению в джунглях войск противника и наведению на них ударной авиации.

Американский лёгкий моноплан L-19 (военное обозначение O-1) фактически являлся заменой для уже изношенных французских MS.500 и MS.502. Обладая сопоставимыми взлётно-посадочными характеристиками, он был более прочным. Но при этом, как и немецко-французский «Аист», недостаточно манёвренным, чтобы избегать зенитного огня со стороны партизан, что вызвало ощутимые потери в эскадрильях этих машин..

The Cessna L-19A Bird Dogs which arrived in Lebanon from US Army stocks in West Germany were much more suitable for the observation role than the Sk 16As, which were little used from that point on. The Bird Dog had been designed from the outset as a liaison and observation aircraft, its high-wing configuration offering excellent visibility and its flat-six Continental engine proving much more economical.
