Grumman OV-1B Mohawk – History and Use

The Grumman OV-1B Mohawk is an American twin-engine reconnaissance aircraft that entered service in the 1950s and was widely used by the United States Army. Its main role was photographic reconnaissance, radar imaging, and tactical observation under both day and night conditions.
