About the 105
The Stinson 105 is an American single-engine, fixed-wing monoplane intended for light utility duties. Built for civilian operators and small-scale transportation, the aircraft features a braced high-wing layout and accommodates a single pilot alongside passengers.
Initially designated the HW-75, the design underwent several model evolutions during the early 1940s, incorporating wider cabins and alternative power plants such as Franklin and Lycoming engines alongside the original Continental powerplant. A small number were evaluated for military observation tasks without immediate adoption, though several examples were later acquired for domestic courier tasks during wartime. Post-conflict operations saw the design serve as the basis for a four-seat successor.
