Cessna L-19A 51-4876 Army National Guard

These are 1/72 scale decals for Cessna L-19A Bird Dog 51-4876, assigned to the 48th Infantry Brigade, Georgia Army National Guard.

The 48th Infantry Brigade is one of the oldest and most storied units in the Georgia National Guard, with a lineage tracing back to the Civil War. In the postwar era, National Guard brigades like the 48th were assigned organic aviation assets including the L-19A Bird Dog for reconnaissance, liaison, and command communications — giving ground commanders a direct aerial observation capability at the brigade level.

National Guard Bird Dogs in this period often wore a distinctive natural metal finish rather than the Olive Drab of their active Army counterparts, making them visually striking subjects. This aircraft represents the citizen-soldier tradition of the Georgia National Guard and the important role of organic Army aviation at the state level during the early Cold War era.
