"War of the Worlds" Aircraft - Liaison aircraft
This is the plane that Clayton Forrester and Sylvia
van Buren use to escape the first battle. The "War of the Worlds" drinking game goes something like this: When Clayton takes off his glasses, have a drink. When Clayton puts on his glasses, have a drink. When Sylvia screams, you need a drink. --Bill Thompson |

Aeronca L-16 Looks more like a Chief. It's been some time since I've seen the film, but I believe the airplane had side-by-side seating. The L-16 had tandem seating. |

It's possible that they used two different types of aircraft in the scene, so this picture may not settle the identity question. --Bill Thompson |

I based my L-16 comment on the vertical stabilizer/dorsal fin. |
