Merging from "Stinson L-5" into "L-5 Sentinel"

My reasons to merge these two articles in the manner presented are as follows

The article name convention of other planes is their aircraft series number and their knickname (i.e. KC-135 Stratotanker, B-52 Stratofortress, etc.).
The USAF lists this aircraft as the "L-5 Sentinel" on their AFHRA website.
The article is about a military aircraft, not a civilian aircraft, and the naming convention should reflect that.
Admittedly, the "Stinson L-5" article has more information and data than the "L-5 Sentinel" article, but the article should follow the standard naming conventions.
